The government of San Francisco, together with various parasitical nonprofits, actively and overtly conspires to occlude, distort, misrepresent and falsify basic statistical data on the homeless crisis in order to misrepresent both the underlying issue, and the impact they have.
By every conceivable measure, the And yet even their own manipulated data reveals the people and groups tasked with solving homelessness have cannot mask their total failure to achieve even a modicum of progress towards addressing the burgeoning homeless crisis in San Francisco. They have amassed more people, more resources, more ballot measures, more donations, and yet all this has been contemporaneous with a worsening objective condition within the city in terms of homelessness. That is, in spite of burgeoning human and financial capital dedicated to solving the issue, the people in charge, and organizations claiming leadership in this area, are either blindly unaware of how damaging their actions are, or willfully complicit in one of the great cons of modern time. Let’s restate this, so there is no confusion: the individuals, organizations, and politicians advocating greater resource allocation to homeless services cannot point to any material improvements they have achieved. tasked with addressing the homeless crisis have not only failed to make even modest improvements, but have shown themselves to be, at best, incompetent and ineffective, and at worst, willfully and knowingly complicit in what is the largest theft nor public resources without any upside in the modern history of California.
To be sure, many working to solve this crisis are well-intentioned. But they are doing more harm than good. Homelessness— the people who work to “solve” it— are almost universally kleptocratic when analyzed from a public resource and/or non-profit efficacy perspective. In no other area of civil or public life have organizations and government agencies siphoned so significant an amount of resources without any tangible benefits, public accountability, or moral hazard.
There is no issue where San Francisco manifests such worsening, decline, inconceivably disastrous year-over-year “progress.” To be clear: the problem has gotten worse the more money we’ve spent, exacerbated in the past few years, and been only more transgressively aided and abetted. Within the city and county of San Francisco, no department or area of government is as woefully unaccountable to basic audits and performance reviews as homeless services; no area of government has leadership so lacking in tangible successes or demonstrated performance.
There is no area of charitable giving where increased funding has so indirectly correlated with sucesss; and there is no public issue so editorialized with a “liberal” bias within the media.
We do not know how many homeless people live in San Francisco. Period.
