S.F. blames out-of-towners for endless homeless problem

City officials are finally admitting what others have been saying for years: San Francisco is attracting huge numbers of homeless people from all over. Thousands of transient people, arriving from other counties, states and even countries, are overwhelming the city's homeless system.

Facing a crippling budget shortfall, officials at San Francisco's homeless agencies are proposing a radical idea - take care of the city's own first, and require newcomers to show proof of residency for aid.

#3  Just wait, they (and their friends) will start screaming

GB and CyberSarge can tell me if I'm wrong, but I suspect the point has been reached in SF where the screaming will be ignored. SF and Caliph. are now facing the abyss and the reality is setting in.

#1  "show proof of residency for aid" (or voting or driver's license or whatever the locals actually foot the bill for)

What a novel idea! Obviously the 'community organizers' haven't gotten to Mr. Rhorer or Mr. Kayhan.

Just wait, they (and their friends) will start screaming so loud that they'll drown out some of the few 'voices of reason' left in the spiraling cesspool of socialism that was once one of my favorite cities.
