      Efficiency and progress is ours once more Now that we have the neutron bomb It’s nice and quick and clean and gets things done Away with excess enemy With no less value to property No sense in war but perfect sense at home…

    He setup the conditions for San Francisco to actually do this. He just wants more cities to do it now.

    I’m very liberal on 95% of issues, but if there is one issue I lean conservative it’s homelessness. I want them to get the help they need, I support programs to help them, but I do not want to see a homeless encampment s take over public parks or other areas. I don’t want the trash and safety issues near where I live and near my family.

    I know this will get me dumped on my the ultra leftists here, but I didn’t think my feelings are unreasonable.

        It’s also a tragedy-of-the-commons type issue. Nobody else can use the park if they are camping there. There are legitimate safety concerns due to the mental health and drug issues that are prevalent in the homeless. To pretend these aren’t real issues is stupid.

        I’m being honest here. This is an issue that is a challenge to solve, but I still don’t want a bunch of homeless people in my neighborhood. I’d like to find a solution and I’m not afraid of my tax money is going to help them, but tent encampments are not the solution IMHO…

      You want them to get the help they need, that’s the opposite of conservative even without the support for programs.

      So you’re liberal until it inconveniences you?

      How about instead of outlawing homelessness, we created a housing system for them. Then we can talk about moving them out of parks.

    Crazy how fast the internet turns. A few months ago? Everyone loved him for not letting trump do the ego handshakes. Now everyone calls him weird.

      It’s just so weird that people of a certain mindset and philosophy would praise something they approved of in line with that mindset and condemn something they didn’t in line with that mindset.

    While SF mayor, Newsom pushed for abusive treatment of homeless people. It’s one of his shticks.

    He’s an extremely toxic slimeball and it’ll be catastrophic if his national political ambitions are realized.
