Sounds like Seattle. All those addict cac kids lving and shytting on teh streets and begging tourists for fix money.

The locals hate it and I can understand why people get like that. Threre's homelessness and then there are bums that just want to hang out

I work 10 mins from that location, and when I walk over there, its depressing as fukk. Junkies half dead with needles in their arms, human feces, flies everywhere, and more. The city doesn't care about to TL, they never have, and its so weird because it's literally blocks away from downtown. If I was the city, I wouldn't want my tourists so close to this area for various reason, yet they still don't give a fukk

Real talk, there’s no way to fund a commune for the chronically homeless somewhere out in the flyover states? Some of them are not beyond becoming productive citizens, a small village tax funded giving them the basic necessities, I’m sure some non profit orgs will set up shop to provide services and skills training, those who become productive can either stay there to run things/teach/provide services etc or return to society. Rather pool taxes at a national level than keep spending all the money (taxes) we’re spending locally (which would be more helpful being spent on schools and infrastructure) on this and not resolving anything

I read this yesterday morning, I have been through the Tenderloin a few times. Last summer, I went to sushi at Hinata, (highly highly recommended) and my friend and I walked from Mission District, at one point she had to point out someone injecting heroin right on the street. It is slowly getting gentrified through, that sushi place is very high end, and right in the middle of the Tenderloin.
