Where do the rioters get their money? Where do they live? Who pays their cell phone bills? Car notes? Who pays their rent? Who pays for their food?

An ATM... mom and dad.. I'm sure you want to make the big Soros reveal... But I'm guessing you got nothing.

And yet a newspaper from the city felt it appropriate to right a story about how the homeless and the drug problem were effecting tourism. Look, you outright dismissed that the city has some major problems, so I provided a link that clearly demonstrates they do. You can ignore the reality of the situation if you choose, but it will still remain reality. Doubling down on being wrong just seems foolish.

The people who live in San Francisco aren't worried about tourism. They live there happily. Have you ever lived in a REAL city? Warm weather big cities will always have problems with the homeless.

Trust me, the irony was not lost on me. This was what I would consider to be our most woke office. It was flooded with SJW virtue signaling. I suspect many of these people participated in the occupy protests several years ago Like normal, things are always different when the results end up literally at your door.

I wish I could connect you with the two women who were assaulted outside the building, both arriving before 7am. You could then explain about your days on the Hoboken streets. Or you could talk to the group who found the murdered guy at the door when arriving in the morning. They probably just need a little more Hoboken in them!!

Your ceaseless whining about urban violence wouldn't bring them any comfort, either.

Id love to but I can’t. I have to work an actual job when Dink is home smoking the reefer and drinking some IPA. And when he’s working at the bar, I have an actual family lol 😂. Maybe on the weekends?

The people who work in San Francisco are worried about tourism. It provides them jobs they might not otherwise have. Like it or not, tourism is a vital industry for many cities. As the tourism fades, so do jobs.

You guys could be on TV. Since they took Cops off the air, you can use the "Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do" theme music. Live from the streets of Knoxville.

We used to have vagrancy laws. They'd round up the homeless and fine them. The ones who could not pay the fine would be sent to the county farm to work off their debt. Usually, they'd move on once released. Not sure why we stopped doing that.

Seems silly to compound a poor person's problems by fining them for being homeless. It doesn't really address the problem. It just pushes them down the road to be someone else's problem. I can understand why that might be attractive to some, but truthfully, we need to find ways to help those can be helped. Not all people are homeless through fault of their own. Not a fan of abandoning people in need, but I also realize, they have to be willing to help themselves as well. It can't be a one way street.

Society has deemed they should be free just like all the people who have true mental illness by closing the state mental institutions. It is much better to have someone who lives in a constant delusional state on the street. They go through the same cycle of the meds work, I'm better I don't need my meds, psychotic break, back in the hospital back on meds, released, wash rinse repeat. I'm not sure what percentage of homeless people this applies to.
