And who are you to dictate what "needs to stop"? This is not tumblr. Your language and tone are not productive. Please suggest solutions and have a civil discussion!

Perhaps I'll start:

I think this is tragic but the average American feels totally powerless to help. In San Francisco the homeless are almost all mentally ill, often dangerous, people from other states. My suggestion would be to pool money from all cities they come from and fund homeless programs outside of SF, outside of metropolitan areas. Then, transfer the homeless there and give them another chance to restart and get the help they need outside of a revolving door urban environment.
