There is NO Solution to the Homeless Problem in San Francisco, California Anymore
This is nuts! 17,000 people on the streets here without a plan.
If you’ve ever been to San Francisco in the last ten years, there’s no doubt you probably saw a lot of homeless people. But unless you actually go into certain parts of town, you won’t actually see just how bad the homeless problem is in one of the richest cities in the nation.
And what’s terrible about it is that the city’s efforts aren’t addressing the core root of the problem. And it’s getting worse here, too.
Now I drove all around San Francisco on an early morning in late October in 2021. I had just left Oakland, where the homelessness is also a big problem. There’s 5,000 homeless people in Oakland and that number is growing, too. But over here across the bridge, that number is triple.
Unlike Oakland, here in San Francisco there are a lot of homeless people in the downtown area, but it might not be as widespread as you think. In the nice areas on the north end of town, there are homeless stragglers in pockets, and tents on some sidewalks, and if you walk around enough you’ll see a few people sleeping on benches and in doorways.
Almost 100% of the homeless issue in San Francisco is due to two main problems - drug addiction and mental illness and the cost of living. And to really understand the homeless problem in San Francisco, we can look at two examples of this. One is in the Tenderloin, in the heart of the city, where addiction and mental illness is rampant. And another area is a 15-minute drive outside of town in an area called Bayview where the cost of living problem has reared its head.
We’ll begin in the Tenderloin, a 50 square block area where things are really out of control and getting worse every week. There’s no accurate estimate of the number of homeless people here in the Tenderloin, but every day, you see hundreds of people lining the sidewalks here, many of them in tents or laying on the ground. While this is the worst of it, in the surrounding neighborhoods of Haight, Mission, Union Square, the Castro, Golden Gate Park, Buena Vista Park and the Embarcadero are also really bad for homelessness. This whole area here is the worst of it.
But it’s the Tenderloin where things are the worst worst. There’s nothing like it in this country. By last count there were more than 1,000 tents on San Francisco’s sidewalks, and you’ll find a lot of them in this part of town.
