Some thoughts on San Francisco’s current situation…

It’s the same way in India. Used to be that way in China but they fixed that. Makes you wonder what the future is going to look like

This is an astonishingly well made point.

It goes to show decades of complacency and corruption of the political class that such a rich state as California let the homelessness and drug problem get out of control to this degree.

How did we get here? What might we do about it? Join me to meet cool people and learn how this city actually works

its doesnt make any sense to me. Under any circumstance (and I have ready a lot of theories), it should have been cleaned up by now.

What song is playing in the background?

Sorry, almost missed the part where you mention the "New Technological God That May Run Our Entire World". Can we just pause for a minute and # PauseAI ? Because no.

Over many years, here in SF, I posted online on a chat board dedicated to homelessness the following. "If we do every service and benefit you believe is the solution, fund it at 200% of your needs, for five years. And there is no improvement can we remove them from the streets?"
