Ask any San Francisco resident, business owner or visitor what the city's biggest problem is and a common answer is "homelessness." And, more people are reporting living on the edge of homelessness — in cars and on couches — or a paycheck away from losing shelter.
Panhandling, tent cities on streets and under highways, people passed out on sidewalks, street people with mental illness — it's all there, in good times and bad. We spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year and yet, no matter what politicians do or say, the problem doesn't go away. In the latest effort, a group of San Francisco supervisors wants to give the city the power to clear out tent encampments, as long as they offer the homeless an alternative place to sleep.
