Tom Wolf, a formerly homeless drug addict, said that, thanks to all of San Francisco's giveaways, he was able to spend his entire general assistance payment on heroin. Which San Francisco also helps out with, giving away 6 million free needles to drug addicts every year. That's more than New York City dispenses -- with a population 10 times larger.
"Well, that didn't last long. Chesa Boudin, the "progressive" district attorney of San Francisco, was recalled in a landslide election on Tuesday. Evidently, even that city's progressive voters finally got tired of replacing their car windshields. (On the upside, once out of office, Boudin can keep prosecuting as many criminals as he did while in office.)
"Quiz for Republicans:
"In a shocking upset, the most liberal city in the nation just voted to recall a pro-criminal D.A. Q: Should you be dedicating your time to: --
Ukraine --
Tax cuts --
Abortion --
Crime [Sen. Lindsey Graham frantically waving his hand: UKRAINE!]
" Crime is primarily a state and local issue, but there are some things the federal government can do. How about auditing the "homelessness" industry for fraud, graft and corruption? (And the drug rehab industry, while you're at it.) In the last decade, homeless "advocacy" seems to have displaced Hollywood as the most well-compensated and glamorous industry in California.
"Michael Shellenberger's 2021 book, "San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities" details how progressives are foisting drug-addicted mental patients on an unsuspecting public. The problem is less the homeless -- the drug-addicted mental patients you will always have with you -- and more the well-healed liberals getting rich off the homelessness racket.
>He begins by quoting all manner of homeless "advocates" -- i.e., people who make money off of homelessness -- such as Dr. Margot Kushel of the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF), who insists that homelessness has NOTHING to do with drugs or mental illness. "We've always known," Kushel said, "that most homelessness is a result, pure and simple, of poverty."
"A lot of valuable information comes from sentences that begin with "we've always known."
"Convinced of the truth of this preposterous maxim, San Francisco has been doling out billions of dollars to solve homelessness, by providing the homeless -- or as we are now commanded to call them, "our unhoused neighbors" -- with shelter, food and massive cash payments.
"Also free needles! Because homelessness is just a matter of being poor, as "we've always known.' ". . .
