I disagree that the city is hellbent on killing off its homeless population. If anything, the city is hellbent on improving conditions for them. The city has allowed encampments to remain untouched in many places around the city since the shelter-in-place started. They have even brought bathroom facilities to their encampments so that they stay in place. These bathroom facilities are supervised and cleaned by an attendant 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Again, I don't know why people think the city of San Francisco wants to kill their homeless population. Their policies favor the homeless population over the safety of families that live in neighborhoods other than the Marina, Pacific Heights, and North Beach.

SF politics are extremely partisan, such that they get in the way of actually accomplishing anything. The factions are the (IMHO very poorly named) Moderates and Progressives. Once you've been identified as being on one side, even if you share common goals it's unlikely that there will be any collaboration, and very likely there will be extreme antagonism wherever possible. Political point scoring and blame games have superseded the goals that people say they support.
