This is right across the street on Jones:
Looking down Golden Gate:
They keep their side of the street pretty clean and safe with security guards standing out on the corner (but that costs serious money, added, no doubt, to the rent).

So, I left San Francisco 13 years ago and check this page periodically to see what changes are happening. The image with the cement blocks and the tents and shanty town looking structures and what looks to be thirty homeless people, is this San Francisco now?
When I left there were issues, always have been but not like this. Why is this OK? It can't be beneficiary, safe or healthy to allow human beings to live like this? Are there restrooms provided for all of these people?
Is this because of Covid? The mayor is OK with this? I don't want SF to be like NYC but this is like walking into a hoarders house. It's not safe for anyone to live like this.
And what about the residents of those buildings they are blocking? They have to walk through this mass of people? How safe can that be? And if you're a business you just have to accept this in front of your restaurant, etc?
I'm a progressive Democrat, I'd vote out every single person in charge of governing this city. No excuses for this.
