> wifi access could help people

This type of thinking is tone deaf and its the reason we're here. If all the homeless needed was wifi, this would have been solved long ago.

It's unquestionably clear the city gov is forcing a wedge between it's residents and the crime, homelessness and business closures by failing to respond.

Did you know the prostitution on Capp St is alive as ever? It's just less visible now that's it's walled off using concrete barriers.

SF already tolerate too much. If residents don't act, nobody will.

I remember seeing prostitutes on Capp street (and Polk St) 15-20 years ago in the aughts. Not anymore. I routinely ride my bike with preschooler in tow on Capp at 8AM and 5PM and haven’t seen any in the past two years.
I work from a co-working space on Mission & 20th and see them all the time.
No one said wifi is the only thing they need, of course that is absurd
I completely agree with this.
