Which ones? Are there stats showing before/after unhoused numbers?

I guess I'm just too brainwashed to be miserable living in the Mission.

Are you not aware that San Francisco was the site of the biggest population exodus out of any city? You may not be miserable but if you’re unable to comprehend why that exodus happened then you’re completely out of touch.

I’m too lazy to find stats and stats may not exist anyway. You don’t need science to prove to you the ground exists when you get up in the morning. You use your common sense for that.

I'm hearing a lot of appeal to emotion, not facts.

With regard to migration, I frequently see expensive CoL and remote work vis-a-vis the pandemic cited as primary reasons, not homelessness or crime. If you have reputable sources saying otherwise, please cite them.

There’s tons and tons of facts. Just no stats. I can point you or you can point yourself to dozens of articles and opinion pieces. But stats I’m too lazy to find and they likely don’t exist.

You go continue to live in a universe where you ignore general sentiment and fill in reality with your own happy construct where a void of stats and science exists. Did they do a research study on whether people enjoy eating feces? No? I guess I can make up whatever garbage I want around this area now. Yes people love eating shit. (This is what you and all the science maniacs around HN love doing).

No science exists on how much people hate San Francisco even though there are reams and reams of people talking about how bad things are? Ok fill it in with your own delusion of reality. San Francisco is great. I love the whiff of fresh human shit I occasionally get when the right breeze just waffs by under my nose. I love stepping on broken syringes when I go run.
