Most of the time, when people say ‘SF is a failed city’ and refer to homeless people, they’re not critiquing the circumstances (housing, gentrification, cost of living, lack of shelter).

Most of the time, when people say ‘SF is a failed city’ and refer to homeless people, they’re not critiquing the circumstances (housing, gentrification, cost of living, lack of shelter). They’re saying the state has failed to sufficiently put away poor people, so they don’t have to see them.

People who say that generally do not live in SF. SF has issues, like any big city, but it is a great place. Way fewer assholes per capita, although the tech bros are trying to change that.
