Nah it's a myth that SF attracts homeless people. 71% of the homeless here lost housing here.
(https://48hills.org/2016/02/five-myths-about-the-homeless-pr...) Per the same link, SF spends very little money on homelessness. A lot of the so called homelessness money is actually subsidized housing money. Most issues with the homeless represent a public health issue much more than a law enforcement issue. Given they lack access to toilet facilities, are you imagining the homeless not pooping through sheer willpower? Addiction is a form of mental illness, and that's not the only mental illness common among the homeless. Many suffer from other illnesses. Nobody wakes up wanting to be addicted, or schizophrenic, or whatever, whether they are homeless or otherwise. |

What this city really needs is restrooms. Agree with you on that. Yes, people would do drugs in them, but it would certainly help with some of the smells.
