Ultra wealthy tech bros clink champagne glasses as the proles vote to kick the lowest among themselves off any public assistance by testing for any "illegal" drugs in their system before they can collect the paltry assistance that already requires navigating hoops and miles of red tape.

San Francisco residents: OH MY GOD I AM SICK OF ALL THESE HOMELESS

Also San Francisco residents: LET'S PUSH PEOPLE WHO ARE DOWN EVEN FURTHER DOWN, THUS GUARANTEEING WE HAVE MORE HOMELESS

Libs are literally the dumbest people on the planet. They recognize a problem, complain about the problem, and then do everything in their power to ensure that problem gets worse

SF isn’t what people think it is. It has the most billionaires per capita in the world. There are few school-age children here, because many move away before their kids reach that age. We don’t have many old people, because many find they can’t afford to retire here. SF is not a real place, it’s a playground for the wealthy.

One day soon it will sink into the sea and all will be well.

This may guarantee more deaths, or was CAAP really enough to house someone in SF? Not too well informed, but I thought it was already pretty much impossible to get any kind of housing in SF without good or lots of work.

the more homeless people there are, the richer they feel, so i dont think they want to eliminate homelessness.

UNLESS it's just slaughtering them all. they'd be all for that, as long as you call it "neutralizing".

it's not even just feeling richer, it's being richer.. can't be rich if others aren't poor

I'm sure plenty of the wealthy people that voted for this are on drugs too

yeah, but they get their money by stealing from the poors, so that's fine, they can do as much drugs as they want and society will accommodate them to the max.
