San Francisco now ranked 11th meanest city in the US to the homeless by the National Coalition for the Homeless. One of the complaints against the city:
After responding to complaints of homeless people loitering outside
the San Francisco Public Library, the police decided to provide
homeless individuals, unhappy living in the city, with one-way
bus tickets. The plan would “reunite them with loved ones for
the holidays.” The Police Department recommended coordination
with the bus companies and local businesses to fund tickets,
along with boxed lunches.
Meanwhile, others perceive San Francisco as welcoming to the homeless to a fault.
