Defending her “aggressive” crackdown on encampments, the mayor argues that homeless people have only one choice left: accept help or get out.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Breed is far from the first SF Mayor who’s promised to clean up the open air mental ward slash drug den.

Junkies don’t want to stay in a shelter if they can’t do drugs there. Plenty of “nonprofits” pay their executive salaries by using legal obstructions to maintain the status quo and solicit big money contracts from the city to “help” the homeless.

I suspect this latest initiative will stall out after a lawsuit by a nonprofit CEO working in the homeless-industrial-complex of SF.
