San Francisco residents raise $64,000 to stop homeless shelter in wealthy area

Big shocker here. Virtue signaling democrats at work

Some San Francisco residents are turning to crowdfunding to raise money to fight a proposed homeless shelter in their wealthy neighborhood. As of Friday morning, the effort had raised almost $64,000 of its $100,000 goal.

Calling itself "Safe Embarcadero for All," the organizer is appealing to residents of South Beach, Rincon Hill, Bayside Village, East Cut and Mission Bay, saying the money will be directed to a legal fund to pay for efforts to fight the homeless shelter. San Francisco Mayor London Breed has sponsored legislation to fast-track the building of the Navigation Center, which would house 200 homeless people a stone's throw from Google's San Francisco offices and Gap's headquarters.

At the same time, a rival crowdfunding effort is raising money to support the homeless shelter, and had received almost $40,000 of its $50,000 goal as of Friday morning. Its organizers said their funds would be used to fight the residents who are trying to block the shelter's construction.

The rival crowdfunding efforts highlight the tensions impacting San Francisco and nearby Silicon Valley, which have seen a huge influx in wealth thanks to the growth of tech companies such as Google and Uber. The surge in personal incomes has pushed up housing prices, forcing some residents out of their homes and creating a homeless crisis.

By one measure, there are about 7,500 homeless people in the city, with about 4,400 "unsheltered," or who sleep without a roof over their heads. A U.N. report issued last fall called the conditions suffered by homeless people in San Francisco and neighboring Oakland "cruel and inhuman" and cited it as a human rights violation.

Earlier this month, residents of the wealthy neighborhoods near the site of the proposed homeless shelter turned out to protest the effort, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Some said they were sympathetic but worried about placing the shelter in an area frequented by tourists, as well as potential issues with crime and sanitation.

The Navigation Center could draw "all the things normally associated with homelessness: criminal activity, drug usage and environmental pollution, both the visual kind and the physical kind," one resident said at the meeting, according to the report.

The median price for a condos in Mission Bay and South Beach, two neighborhoods near the proposed shelter, is more than $1.2 million, according to Paragon Market Reports.

Just more white liberals being total hypocrites!

BLADEWIRE - Will you ever offer some sort of opinion / debate? Or just post stupid shit like a crazy person?? I mean, I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, but the choice is yours

[Paul Markham]

This is how liberals think. It's fine to let in illegal migrants, low skilled migrants, lose jobs, etc. So long as the results of those liberal issues don't come to live near them.

Bladewire does what he always does with issues he can't ignore. He posts stupid shit showing what a flake he is.

You're British living in Slovakia.

Obama removed the most illegal aliens in U.S. history, and more illegals at this point in his presidency that Trump.

You'll keep propogating your lies though and you'll keep lying saying I'm a liberal not a centrist capitalist against illegals & sanctuary cities.

Paul gets off on lying about people and getting them to reply to him to correct the record. It makes Paul feel powerful.

I love how none of you live in SF, and think they know what's going on. I recently moved away from there. the homeless are like walking dead. they are everywhere, but some are crazy, the streets are covered in shit and needles, and harass men and women.

its half the reason we moved out of the city. and I lived in north beach, not in the bay area, so I dealt with this everyday. the homeless have so many hand outs, there is nothing in place to stop them from being homeless essentially. they get free money, free meals, no enforcement. it was common to see homeless people with beat headphones, iphones, clothes, etc. they just didn't want to cough up the 3k to live somewhere. this isn't a dem or rep problem, this is it's own issue that people need to stop politicing over.
