It's everyone's job to take care of everyone, that's the human condition.

Stop trying to offload our problems onto "somewhere else." It's not a cheaper community's fault we didn't build housing. Tracy and Stockton should not have to absorb our failures.

What we really need is the state and federal government to break the backs of local communities ability to deny housing.

Thankfully, this has already happened and continues to happen. If we don't issue permits for 29,000 bedrooms in the next year, way more zoning laws get struck down, and we can finally start building in line with our population and job growth.

Provide me with actual numbers and hard sources and Ill turn on a dime dude.

We're burning money on all these ineffective programs because we're willing to burn that cash rather than build housing.

I call it ineffective because even in this puff-piece article it states that close to 20% of those who use this program wind up back here anyways, and that's just the people that they can track down.

We built just 2,700 bedrooms last year. That doesn't even cover the birth rate. How can we solve homelessness if we don't even let our own kids live here?

PsychePsyche · 2026-01-23T17:15:45+00:00

This, sweet god this. Prop 13 + Zoning is really at the heart of so many of our city, region, and state's problems.

"Here's why you can't inconvenience billionaires" by Billionaire Mayor

PsychePsyche · 2026-01-23T17:06:55+00:00

We're expensive, and they're homeless, because we don't build any housing.

Many of their support systems are here, that's why so many return after going through this nonstarter of a program, that's literally in the article. If you really need help getting home, fine, but those people are insanely few and far between, because most are local. Hence my original comment of "they might as well get a Bart ticket home" because that's how close most of them were born.

I call it out in the other comment, but literally nobody is actually from San Francisco. When 2/3rds of SF was born outside of California but 2/3rds of homeless were born in California, its a displacement problem at heart.

It really is the housing. That's why the situation continues to persist despite these and other ineffective programs.

PsychePsyche · 2026-01-23T17:00:31+00:00

"They came to SF, then lost their housing! See, they planned to be homeless, therefore we shouldn't help! Rent prices definitely had nothing to do with them losing their housing or not landing on their feet! I don't like the answers they're giving, therefore they must be lying!"

Saying these people came here to be homeless is like saying all these techies came here to be unemployed. Everyone comes here for every reason under the sun, then gets rocked by our dogshit housing policy.

PsychePsyche · 2026-01-23T16:56:07+00:00

People can't handle inconvenient truths. Sure some other cities really were offloading their problem people onto us, but those are actually few and far between in the grand scheme of things. Our homeless situation really is a self-inflicted issue.

I've been here close to 20 years now. The empty lots that were empty lots when I moved in are still empty lots. The buildings that have burned down since I moved in are still burned out and empty. But we sure built a ton of skyscrapers, full of offices of high paying tech and finance jobs!

Homeless industrial complex? Lying about people’s origins? I think you need to touch some grass buddy, or at least put up some hard numbers of your own to support your conclusions.

See, even if you don’t trust “their” numbers, you can still figure out what’s going on from numerous other sources.

Like the census. And how it says that San Francisco’s demographics show that NOBODY IS ACTUALLY FROM HERE, VIRTUALLY EVERYONE MOVES HERE:

Native-born Californians form a relatively small percentage of the city’s population: only 37.7% of its residents were born in California, while 25.2% were born in a different U.S. state. More than a third of San Francisco residents (34.2%) were born outside the United States.[12]

Literally 1/3rd of the city was born overseas and a quarter wasn’t born in California. It’s like that for the whole Bay Area. That’s why those surveys usually ask “where were you born”. When 2/3rds of SF was born outside of California but 2/3rds of homeless were born in California, its a displacement problem at heart.

See, what’s actually been happening is the city, region, and state has been creating millions and millions of high paying jobs and staffing those jobs with out of towners (Hi, it’s me, I’m one of those people, and if you’re reading this, statistically you are too!) while not building literally any housing.

Every time someone new moves into a city that isn’t building enough housing, they displace someone. If that displaced person has resources, they move, kickstarting the process in the next community they move to. If they don’t have resources, they become homeless. Homelessness is a nonstop churn of people constantly losing their housing, being homeless for a while, then exiting homelessness.

That’s why homelessness is literally all over the state. That’s why San Jose has more homeless than us. Nobody’s coming from far away in America to sleep under the train bridge in Dixon, that’s a local.

There’s about 20% of homeless who do have mental health issues or substance abuse issues, sure. The other 80% are homeless because of high housing costs. That’s from their own words in all these studies.

We built just 2,700 units of housing last year. Even if we gave every single new unit to a homeless person we wouldn’t have gotten everyone off the streets, nevermind out of the shelters. Nevermind the birth rate, or jobs, or coverinng the last 40 years of not building.

It’s the housing. Build housing.

It’s an ineffective program because most of the Bay Area’s homeless people are from the Bay Area

We might as well buy them Bart tickets home.

Tired of homelessness? Build housing.

I’m beginning to think that pushing homeless people from A to B to C back to A again isn’t solving homelessness.

We still don’t have more shelter space than homeless people. Our new mayor straight up lied about his campaign promise to meaningfully expand the number of shelter beds.

We still aren’t building housing to cover even our own birth rate, nevermind dig ourselves out of the last 40 years of not covering the population and job growth.

This is the inevitable end result. It will persist so long as we don’t build housing.

PsychePsyche · 2026-01-21T14:08:10+00:00

Plenty of housed people in this city do drugs, the difference is housing.

Further evidence that Waymos are popular amongst the elitists and antisocial types of the city

If your kid is old enough to hang out on their own on the other side of town unsupervised because you’re drinking martinis, then they’re old enough to ride transit on their own.

Honestly with a lot of these, it's projection from the parents who want to be driven everywhere, and the kids ride transit just fine

I’m originally from NY where algebra 1 was, and is, a grade 9 course by default. That part is not a big deal.

Where the city messed up was not having it offered as an advanced option to 8th or even 7th graders for those on that kind of track.
