> It's because we don't criminalize homelessness as aggressively as other major cities

Yes, let's criminalize homelessness. How dare those homeless people refuse to stay in their mansions and apartments.

Do you think we should send the worst of them to Gitmo?

I read this as the commenter implying other places do criminalize the homeless more, not that criminalizing the homeless more is good or ideal. Simply pointing out that the reason you see more homeless around in SF is that it's not aggressively criminalized. Not sure why making that statement carries the implication that they should be criminalized.
