San Francisco waterfront residents: Not in my backyard

It's always interesting to see this happen. San Francisco residents like to boast about being some of the most forward thinking and progressive people in the country, but when it comes to helping their fellow citizens who are homeless their tune changes rather quickly.

Pretty telling quote right here, "“We have homeless people. I see them every day, and they’re nice people, but this is going to attract more,” she said. “I used to love the city and be proud of the city. Now I’m not anymore. It’s dirty, and it’s ugly.”

They are nice people, but please don't put them anywhere near me.

The lady you're quoting is a disabled retiree. Far from the privileged NIMBY you're making her out to be.

It's a hard question and one that SF and other successful cities have to grapple with.
