The homeless situation in SF is completely shameful. That one of the richest cities in the world has 15000+ people living on the streets is unreal to me. Personally I think that anyone who needs help should get it. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this situation, would you please contact Mayor Newsom, because things don't seem to be getting any better. I suspect that since SF has decent weather and is a port town(which means it's continually being flooded with hard drugs), the situation isn't going to change. I realize that I shouldn't have treated such a heavy topic jokingly. However, as a former "hoosier", it's good to get hit with a blast of piety every now and again. It reminds me of why I left Indiana. [ Edited by: calneva on 2004-11-22 15:31 ]
