There is no “compassion or empathy”
This is a lie that was sold to the public for votes (power) and taxes (money).
The only thing that “will be done” about the homeless and crime in SF is eventually someone will come to power who will get rid of them. Not the problem - but the people.
It will not be compassionate but it will happen. This is what inevitably comes to these places in which the incumbents in power are unwilling or uninterested in solving anything.
