I agree this back and forth is unfortunate but hit/run posts like this won't end it. What will is witholding any response. San Francisco's streets are over-run with homeless because the city allows it, not because it has more poor people or its tolerance of them necessarily detracts from its desirability as a city. In fact it may have fewer. But it also has an attitude that "anything goes" including anti-social public behavior so those it has are out(side in full view) and proud. While one group of San Franciscans complains about things such as your photo depicts, an apparent voting majority sees them as preferable to the alternative of "cracking down" as often happens elsewhere. Hence we keep electing supervisors who are protective of homeless rights. I personally am not in that majority, just to be clear, but I accede to the majority will. And that majority obviously thinks the policies it wants make the city a better place, not a lesser one.

What other city has been mentioned?
That's a rhetorical question. Don't answer it unless you want to keep this going and nobody really does except possibly the non-San Franciscans who started it.
