@lickerthegreat Sure! They can be taken into the homes of the American SuperRich, who I'm sure would let them clean their toilets and take out their trash --- without pay, of course. The asswipe part I'm not really sure about, never having been rich enough to know if they have asswipe servants.
@ThatOneTheatreGirl Fighting is always immature and futile. But, holding people accountable for abusive, casually critical statements and not tolerating fools is good limit-setting. But, you know, Theater Girl, I don't see anybody fighting in the last 10 to 15 posts. What are you looking at, anyway? Seems pretty peaceful to me on this thread, lately.
Note: My dislike is due to the bullshit law, not the video. Where else are they supposed to go? Home? Oh wait, society left them behind, they have no homes.
@carolharveysf I'm pretty sure everyone who enjoys being an idiot does when they're young. As far as the heavy drinking part does. It's complete bullshit that a city I viewed as so open (I'm a dirty fag, and taking that term back from the fundies) seems to be open only to misfits with a home.
@DRUNKASSPUNK800 Makes me wondwer what they will do about me when I manage to buy a camper van and get down there. I don't want a big house, I want a van so I can travel in my home. Wherever I am, i'll have a permanent home.
@carolharveysf Oh for sure. Just kicked itt with some random strangers at their place for a while and hitched a ride home. misfts are the best people in this society. typing while laying on mybside btw.
What i think is funny is that this law was said to be throughout SF but yet they have only bothered the kids on the Haight about sitting down...Go walk down to the tenderloin and you will see junkies sitting on the grown doing drugs. HOW FUCKING WONDERFUL AND WE ARE THE THREATS RIGHT?
@AnjiiLeahAnn Yes, there is a long history / tradition of SFPD hassling homeless travelers and unhoused folks in the Haight --- more than in other sections of town. It's usually worse when particular political issues get stirred up. Yhey use the homeless Haight folks as scapegoats. They are such cowards. Politicians pick targets they think are easy and set the police on them. But, Haight homeless people just continue to be there, anyway.
@carolharveysf Oh yeah I am aware of all that goes on down on the Haight, I am one of those kids, matter of fact I know the kids in this video as well as many others who spend a lot of time on the streets of SF.
@AnjiiLeahAnn I need to talk to you, then, about the girl. Someone is looking for her and I haven't seen her in a long time. Can you contact me at carolharveysf@yahoo.com. Let me know if you've seen her recently. Or just let me know on this thread anything safe for her. Don't divulge anything here that you think would endanger her privacy or safety. Use my private e-mail. I'd like to find her and talk to her about the person who wants to contact her, but only if she's willing.
@carolharveysf I haven't seen her since March, it's how traveling kids work, sometimes you run into the same ones over and over and others just vanish for a while. I can ask around, I know kids who might have seen her and if I hear anything write to you and let her know too if I run into her myself. Sorry I'm of no help. I hope everything is okay. =\
@AnjiiLeahAnn Thanks so much, Anjii. If you would ask around, that would be great. Put what you know on here if it won't compromise her. That's a lot of help. I have no reason to believe anything is wrong. They were just trying to reach her, and I told them I'd see what I could do. If I see you in the Haight, that would be fun, too. Take care. Write again about anything at all.
when i was 14 my mother died and i was left with nothing i joined a family of squatters we took care of one another and we would get horrassed all the time by NYC police just for being diffrent we never botherd anyone with all the drug dealing and other shit that goes on you would thinck they would be buzy but no they look to do eazy shit i guess they need to use there power lol
@DRDFOX I appreciate your apology. I do not feel I must justify anything in this video. I have written 100s of articles over 12 years about homelessness; have many homeless friends willing to talk to me on camera because they know and trust me. My purpose is to give a voice to people who otherwise don't have one, no matter how brief. That was true in this one. As I said, I am happy that homeless travelers try to communicate with each other in these posts. My heart is with them. I love them
as long as they don't beg i don't have a problem ...i can understand how getting asked 20 times a day could make the city want to clean it up...not to mention there are safety issues with having crowded side walks. The mature thing to do if you want to play your guitar and try to have a gathering would be to advertise with flyers for it, then do it in a properly sized area. One isle and a painter is fine...but if you're going to have a bunch of people standing around you watching you that isnt
@GarIicjr Oh, for Pete's sake, these are people without money to make signs and flyers. I'm getting tired of your complete boneheaded lack of ability to put yourself in really poor peoples' shoes, and your complete stinginess, and meanness of spirit. Go and control and manage your own life instead of managing other peoples.' You are not the only person in the universe. It isn't all constructed just for you. Grow up! And, stop leaving these silly messages. Get a life. Do something useful.
@carolharveysf lady, im 26 years old, i work 40 hours a week at walmart. I make about 1k a month, about 600$ is spent on bills, gas, and food. I support myself, bymyself. I don't need help, I went out turned in apps untill i found a job, iv been working 9-5 jobs since i way 18. These kids think they are gonna get famous or rich playing guitar or painting...bs, they should know better. And the second guy is just a retard, he cant even say some thing without using a cause word every otherword
@carolharveysf so don't tell me to grow up lady, I am not one to be fooled, I understand all to well what homeless ness is about, its a choice, these people choose to live this way and they are not going to get my sympathy. I have thought about just taking the easy route and quiting my job and living off of shelters and food banks, but, that is the easy way, the pathetic way. the worst thing is that some people actually believe that these kids have no other options. they choose this.
I don't mind if they are on the street, But just stop asking me for money. It gets to the point of being asked almost 20 times a day for spare change or help me with food or lodging.
@damon818 Use this as a chance to learn patience and compassion, Brother. You are lucky enough to have money, a home, food, lodging, and spare change. They don't have any of that. Most through very bad luck, not laziness. They ask many times because you are not the only person on the street, and some of those other folks really do help them out.
@damon818 So what is the fuck! Why won't they ask you money,Mr. Asshole. Don't you get protection from the same Police Force which has been raised by the common tax payers' money. As a tax paying citizen, I don't mind my money being spent on homeless citizens. If you think you are from another planet then, please get lost. I am waiting for the day when you would lose your job and start begging. I will definitely treat you to a couple of nice dinners.
This is how it is in Seattle too.. The kids on the street and all the homeless are prohibited from sitting down on the sidewalk before 9:00 PM, its also a crimnal act to sleep in a park, or on a bench, no matter what hour it is.. I wonder if the city finally closes all the shelters, and now that occupy seattle is gone, Where will all these people go? The city also fills the squat spots,
under overpasses with chalk so you cant uttilize the space.
@StardustMaeField Hi Stardust! I've heard this too. It's good to have you verify it and make a comparison to SF. I'm glad to use this channel to give info to unhoused folks about what's really going on in SF and other places so they can make rational plans about what to expect when they come. I don't understand what you mean when you say they fill the underpasses with chalk to keep folks from using the space. Can you clarify this? In SF you can't sit or sleep on a sidewalk btwn 7a and 11p.
@carolharveysf there are several overpasses along the I5 through seattle, and most off ramps have been dug out under the road by homeless folks and made into homes... I used to live in one off eastlake, last summer SPD or seattle parks, went through and filled each dwelling with about 2 inches thick of white chalk... That way you cant utilize the space.. Does that make sense ? Its sprayed all over the cement beams and the diffferent cement"stalls" that each of us used as beds.
OK, Veesee. One more day so people can see what an abusive, foul-mouthed troll you are. You do not come on this channel and call anyone an A**hole without getting dumped. It doesn't matter how much fact you throw out. You do not get to be abusive. Get ready to be dumped, facts and all.
carolharveysf@veeseee128 - You are sounding more and more like a racist, homophobic troll. I will give you one chance to prove me wrong. Then, you are gone from this string.
its a very expensive city to live. very few jobs, the only good thing about it is the high minimum wage, 10.25 an hr. starting jan1 2012. many buisnesses will go under because of this i think and things will become more expensive in sanfrancisco. If u ever go to sanfran visit the tenderloin. its ablack ghetto full of poverty, trashy streets, homeless winos on evry corner, urine scented sidewalks, a real 3rd world ghetto.. also full of gay strip clubs.
@veeseee128 Some of this is true. SF is brutal to homeless people. But, last I heard, NYC had 40,000 homeless people on the streets, many families, victims of foreclosed homes. 40,000 is a marked bump up in the NYC newly unhoused. I also hear NY shelters are dangerous. It's true that homeless people should think twice about coming here. The only improvement over New York and the East is that, in SF you don't freeze in the snow. SF aspires to be Manhattan. The one percent rules both cities.
@carolharveysf so the 1% rich in sanfran dont like the homeless so there fore they own the police chielf and the mayor. who are the 1%? a combination of rich gays and anti homeless rich liberals? BTW new york city shelters are dangerous because a mjority of people in them are black thugs who have just gotten out of rijkers island or have done time in the past.
@veeseee128 okay, you are sounding more and more like a racist, homophobic troll. I will give you one chance to prove me wrong. Then, you are gone from this string.
They simply dont have enogh funding availble to help the poor and the homeless. new york city is much much better to be homeless, there u are gauranteed a bed and dont have to stand in a long line up to 2am in the morning like in sanfran just to sit in a chair all night. and then to top that off u cant rest your head up a gainst the wall. therefore u cannot sleep. san francisco is such a great city to help the less fortunate? thats a crock of shit.
Sanfran cisco is turning into a not homeless freindly city. They have 3 men shelters there all with a 60 bed capacity and thousnds of homeless men. They dont do nearly enough to help the homeless. sad but true. I think many people in sanfran are becomming michael savage clones. michael savage the conservative lives in sanfran and spouts his negative messages agaginst what he thinks are the dregs of society.
I was homeless for a while (not by choice tho) and the cops ALWAYS herassed me. It had to of been 4 or 5 times a day and all I was doing was sitting on a step in the park. Not homeless anymore tho thank god.
@MrJhawk65 As if cops had nothing better to do than harass a good man just for sitting. I am sorry that happened to you. I'm so glad you are not homeless anymore.
@carolharveysf They always herass the homeless. It happens everyday. You can just sit and chill at the park and if you don't look like the rest of society or if you look scruffy. Esp if you are just hanging out at the park for 4hours they will start to herass you constantly and question you if you are selling drugs. One cop came up to me and said that someone called and said I was selling drugs when I didn't have anything illegal on me the whole time I was homeless.
@rockypicturehorror If you are talking about Ted Gullicksen's face, I was using the zoom on my camera standing at quite a distance. So, I'm not really sure what you mean because I was very very far away from Ted's face.
When will people understand California is toast. They have allowed it to be over run by illegal aliens. They don't want us whiteys here any more. Time to get the fuck out and let them have it.
@carolharveysf I understand. It is easier to go through life blind than to open your eyes to reality and do something about it. It's the lazy sheep mentality.
@l3054 Hm-m-m. I'm sure that's part of their plan. When people are given bus tickets out of towns all over the country, 'Move on!' seems to be the message --- whether you walk or ride.
@carolharveysf no matter where they go theyre just gonna keep getting told to move on i dont think you get it im not gonna make blind assumptions but chances are you live in a house where you can rest if you get tired
@l3054 Your blind assumption is correct. I write about homelessness. I have many homeless friends. I am also disabled. I understand how the orders to 'keep walking' all day and all night and 'move on' are impossible things that make life unlivable and painful, both for your body and your mind. I am a conscious, feeling person who hurts every day because my friends --- my brothers and sisters --- live on cold concrete where people I care about suffer and die..
The Rust Belt I knew (Ohio) in the '60s and '70s, martial law, riots, no future, was too much for me. I have lived through five major recessions. The USA just didn't work for me. Getting fired for being a crime victim, later for being pregnant, was an all time low. Losing my baby due to not being able to get healthcare at any price thanks to the MIB was just insane. Good video, uprated.
Sit, Lie is almost never enforced anyway unless the offenders are being obnoxious and I've had few problems with people in the way, though it has happened. One day some drugged up, dirty shithead was blocking the entrance way to Amoeba. He was more pathetic than anything else and I walked around him. Most of the street kids are fine by me.
What I don't like is the aggressive panhandling: learn something useful or entertain me in some way 'cause I don't give money to parasites.
A fascist copper asked you for I. D, And threatened jail for not providing it? Call the fuckers bluff, I`m ready for court, You got your shirt and tie ready dickhead? He will soon fuck off
@xmoroseguyx Interesting strategy, but, if I tried it, they'd arrest me for verbally 'obstructing an officer,' or some madeup shit like that. Still, it's certainly assertive --- and takes guts.
@bluntpunk83 Unlikely, In the UK, The Police are unarmed, And a good rumble with them would only be a small fine or a few hours unpaid work, I wouldn`t of thought it would happen in the UK anyway, There is no ID cards for a start, Nobody wanted them, A big part of the way the Police operate in the UK, Is they don`t really threaten imprisonment, That`s for the Courts to decide, Not them, Besides, I`d win the fight anyway
I'm a homeless guy myself I'm glad to see that you created a video to get people to understand homelessness...but to be honest I don't think that this video is a success. You're talking to punk kids. I'm somewhat of a punk kid myself...but you need to be talking to the old men, the teachers, the homeless scholars, the moms, the dads, there are so many different kinds of people with heart breaking stories. You should visit the local shelter a couple of times and have a free meal, learn something.
@freestyleandsmile Freestyle: I have many times talked to "the old men, the teachers, the homeless scholars, the moms, the dads," the many different "kinds of people with heart breaking stories" which I have published widely. I have many times visited the local shelter, had a free meal, learned a lot from all these people over the last 12 years in San Francisco. I have learned a lot from all my homeless friends. Why should you assume from one video clip that the videographer has not done this?
Still have not been down to the Haight to check on Kyle and Francie, but I promised I will, so I'm good on that promise. But, I am an investigative reporter, and all of this writing takes time. Check back.
ok. Thanks for the heads-up. She may be traveling South for the winter. San Francisco is usually fairly comfortable all year long. We have been having slightly colder weather here this winter, however. So, she may be trying to get out of the cold, if that's her pattern. But, I will check for you anyway, and I'll keep checking until I find her. She will be traveling back to SF at some point. Homeless travelers almost always come back here. Be patient. Check back.
she most likely is traveling anywhere as of now.. its winter. she may be in Georgia though. thats what we heard a little bit ago. the message is correct
ok. I haven't seen this girl for six months at least, I will be going down to Haight Street at some point --- not sure how soon. I will try to see if someone down there has seen Francie. If I can find her or someone who knows her, I will try to get your message to her. But, you must understand, she could be traveling in and out of San Francisco, and she may not be there. But, I will try very hard to get her your message, "Chris and Jeff want Francie to come back." Check back here.
That's what you decided to do about it --- leave her alone to do what she wants. I respect that. It sounded like you were concerned about her and wanted to get her to come back --- maybe. I certainly will say "Hi." Do they know you by 1blark1? BTW, thanks for the drive in the snow. That was fun.
why do i need to do anything about it? its her life and i cant stop her. my friend pretty much disowned her because she just left the family to go with her wanted boyfriend. if you ever see them again, tell francie chris and jeff say hi. please
shes actually running away with kyle because he has a warrant for his arrest here in chicago. he treats everybody like garbage (wouldnt think so in this video) and him, not francie, is a drug addict. who knew.. i basically know this whole story carolharvs
So, 1blark1, what are you going to do about that? Are you going to contact your friend's sister and let that person know where she is? Or, considering the fact that Francie might have left Chicago to escape her family, are you going to keep this to yourself? RSVP, please. I viewed your 7:00 am drive vid. I suspect that was in the Chicago suburbs.
Plus, Francie is very clean. She does not have turds in her hair. Yollam, You have turds in your mind. Please knock the turds off your frontal lobe. They are blocking your clarity of thought. They are gumming up your heart.
I put up these videos and I know these people. They are very peaceful. They would completely agree with antizionfighter's comments. They never tried to hurt anyone. They oppose 'bloodthirsty marines" killing innocents to implement U.S. fake Democracy. They came from all over the country to San Francisco where they believe they could find love and peace. This idea is based on the old idea of the Summer of Love. Unfortunately, what they found was SFPD and community harassment.
At least they did not join the blood thristy marines to kill innocents to implement their fake democracy in other countries and rub their wealth. Americaaaaa wake the fock up and try to take care of your people instead of others as you claim.
@yollam her hair is beautiful, your dick looks like a turd, and because your a dick head, your whole head is a turd. And because your a dick in general.... well.. you just look like a turd period. And I know I have never met you, I remote viewed your ass. And yeah, your pretty much a turd. Did I mention you were a turd???
notshirtguy: I'm glad you live in "backwards" city, too. These are not 'losers,' by any stretch of the imagination. They are full (of love, adventure, intelligence, and sense of humor). You are empty, dull, and critical. You put yourself in the backwoods, and that's where you belong.
@carolharveysf When a person lives on the street they are a loser. They are not a contributing member of society so I don't feel any need to contribute to them. Last month a homeless guy asked if I had any money,without breaking stride I said "Yes, I have lots." He said "Could you spare some?" I said "I could." he said "Will you?" I said "Nope."
@thehotshirtguy2008 How do you know they are not contributing members? just because they don't pay taxes? there are many ways more than one to contribute to society.And how do you know that they haven't ever paid taxes? see darling, you pollute the earth with your negativity.You are not better than they are.
i hope that sit and lie law doesnt pass, i too plan on moving to sf next month,wouldnt mind bumming it out on haight,the last thing i need it to get hassled..hell no
The last thing anybody needs is to get hassled by the cops. If you come, check out HYA, The Homeless Youth Alliance --- good people that have a safe space for travelers, dogs, etc. There are snacks and a computer. Ask around for where it is. Safe traveling, my friend.
I hope if you guys are passing through,you guys stop by a visit.I stay off of Evans street By Lowes Foods grocery store,The Brookfield Apartments.But Yeah,I wish you guys Luck,Be Happy,Keep your Heads up,stay strong,Don't let the Police or Idiots Fuck with you.And most of all be SAFE.I am Maverick by the way,Everyone calls me Mav for short though.If you ever want to just call and talk,my number is (252) 364-6381.I LOVE you guys,Byeeeee!!! PEACE-OUT,BABY!!!!
I met my boyfriend in S.F. in 2003,we been together 7 years now.I miss california-we plan on moving back next years,Hopefully soon.we currently live in the South,Greenville,north Carolina,they are closed-minded here,Homophobic and the Gays aren't like the queers in S.F.,they are more conservative,they frown upon us because we are too open with our Sexuality towards eachother.Yeah,we both have an apartment,I Love my Man,he is my heart.But I sooo LOVE you guys,you guys ROCK!!!
I LOVE you guys,I used to be a Street Kid on Upper Haight around 2003,I'm orignally from Merced,California-A small closed-minded,Homophobic town.But Yeah,I used to be Homeless too,Larkin street up on Haight the Larkin Center up on Larkin street .I hung out up on Hippie Hill,Slept under the bridge under neath the Cliff house by the Beach....
Just wondering. Cann't they be taken in as guests till the time they get back to work. They can hlp the rich to wipe their homes and ass.
Cheers. Long Live america

I don't mind if they are on the street, But just stop asking me for money. It gets to the point of being asked almost 20 times a day for spare change or help me with food or lodging.

@damon818 Use this as a chance to learn patience and compassion, Brother. You are lucky enough to have money, a home, food, lodging, and spare change. They don't have any of that. Most through very bad luck, not laziness. They ask many times because you are not the only person on the street, and some of those other folks really do help them out.
carolharveysf 1 month ago
@damon818 So what is the fuck! Why won't they ask you money,Mr. Asshole. Don't you get protection from the same Police Force which has been raised by the common tax payers' money. As a tax paying citizen, I don't mind my money being spent on homeless citizens. If you think you are from another planet then, please get lost. I am waiting for the day when you would lose your job and start begging. I will definitely treat you to a couple of nice dinners.

This is how it is in Seattle too.. The kids on the street and all the homeless are prohibited from sitting down on the sidewalk before 9:00 PM, its also a crimnal act to sleep in a park, or on a bench, no matter what hour it is.. I wonder if the city finally closes all the shelters, and now that occupy seattle is gone, Where will all these people go? The city also fills the squat spots,
under overpasses with chalk so you cant uttilize the space.

@StardustMaeField Hi Stardust! I've heard this too. It's good to have you verify it and make a comparison to SF. I'm glad to use this channel to give info to unhoused folks about what's really going on in SF and other places so they can make rational plans about what to expect when they come. I don't understand what you mean when you say they fill the underpasses with chalk to keep folks from using the space. Can you clarify this? In SF you can't sit or sleep on a sidewalk btwn 7a and 11p.
carolharveysf 2 months ago
@carolharveysf there are several overpasses along the I5 through seattle, and most off ramps have been dug out under the road by homeless folks and made into homes... I used to live in one off eastlake, last summer SPD or seattle parks, went through and filled each dwelling with about 2 inches thick of white chalk... That way you cant utilize the space.. Does that make sense ? Its sprayed all over the cement beams and the diffferent cement"stalls" that each of us used as beds.

its a very expensive city to live. very few jobs, the only good thing about it is the high minimum wage, 10.25 an hr. starting jan1 2012. many buisnesses will go under because of this i think and things will become more expensive in sanfrancisco. If u ever go to sanfran visit the tenderloin. its ablack ghetto full of poverty, trashy streets, homeless winos on evry corner, urine scented sidewalks, a real 3rd world ghetto.. also full of gay strip clubs.
veeseee128 2 months ago
@veeseee128 Some of this is true. SF is brutal to homeless people. But, last I heard, NYC had 40,000 homeless people on the streets, many families, victims of foreclosed homes. 40,000 is a marked bump up in the NYC newly unhoused. I also hear NY shelters are dangerous. It's true that homeless people should think twice about coming here. The only improvement over New York and the East is that, in SF you don't freeze in the snow. SF aspires to be Manhattan. The one percent rules both cities.

@carolharveysf so the 1% rich in sanfran dont like the homeless so there fore they own the police chielf and the mayor. who are the 1%? a combination of rich gays and anti homeless rich liberals? BTW new york city shelters are dangerous because a mjority of people in them are black thugs who have just gotten out of rijkers island or have done time in the past.

They simply dont have enogh funding availble to help the poor and the homeless. new york city is much much better to be homeless, there u are gauranteed a bed and dont have to stand in a long line up to 2am in the morning like in sanfran just to sit in a chair all night. and then to top that off u cant rest your head up a gainst the wall. therefore u cannot sleep. san francisco is such a great city to help the less fortunate? thats a crock of shit.
veeseee128 2 months ago
Sanfran cisco is turning into a not homeless freindly city. They have 3 men shelters there all with a 60 bed capacity and thousnds of homeless men. They dont do nearly enough to help the homeless. sad but true. I think many people in sanfran are becomming michael savage clones. michael savage the conservative lives in sanfran and spouts his negative messages agaginst what he thinks are the dregs of society.

@carolharveysf They always herass the homeless. It happens everyday. You can just sit and chill at the park and if you don't look like the rest of society or if you look scruffy. Esp if you are just hanging out at the park for 4hours they will start to herass you constantly and question you if you are selling drugs. One cop came up to me and said that someone called and said I was selling drugs when I didn't have anything illegal on me the whole time I was homeless.

The Rust Belt I knew (Ohio) in the '60s and '70s, martial law, riots, no future, was too much for me. I have lived through five major recessions. The USA just didn't work for me. Getting fired for being a crime victim, later for being pregnant, was an all time low. Losing my baby due to not being able to get healthcare at any price thanks to the MIB was just insane. Good video, uprated.

Sit, Lie is almost never enforced anyway unless the offenders are being obnoxious and I've had few problems with people in the way, though it has happened. One day some drugged up, dirty shithead was blocking the entrance way to Amoeba. He was more pathetic than anything else and I walked around him. Most of the street kids are fine by me.

I'm a homeless guy myself I'm glad to see that you created a video to get people to understand homelessness...but to be honest I don't think that this video is a success. You're talking to punk kids. I'm somewhat of a punk kid myself...but you need to be talking to the old men, the teachers, the homeless scholars, the moms, the dads, there are so many different kinds of people with heart breaking stories. You should visit the local shelter a couple of times and have a free meal, learn something.

ok. Thanks for the heads-up. She may be traveling South for the winter. San Francisco is usually fairly comfortable all year long. We have been having slightly colder weather here this winter, however. So, she may be trying to get out of the cold, if that's her pattern. But, I will check for you anyway, and I'll keep checking until I find her. She will be traveling back to SF at some point. Homeless travelers almost always come back here. Be patient. Check back.

If I can find her or someone who knows her, I will try to get your message to her. But, you must understand, she could be traveling in and out of San Francisco, and she may not be there. But, I will try very hard to get her your message, "Chris and Jeff want Francie to come back." Check back here.

I put up these videos and I know these people. They are very peaceful. They would completely agree with antizionfighter's comments. They never tried to hurt anyone. They oppose 'bloodthirsty marines" killing innocents to implement U.S. fake Democracy. They came from all over the country to San Francisco where they believe they could find love and peace. This idea is based on the old idea of the Summer of Love. Unfortunately, what they found was SFPD and community harassment.

@carolharveysf When a person lives on the street they are a loser. They are not a contributing member of society so I don't feel any need to contribute to them.
