SF Libs: Say No to Vomiting Squatters
Are they really becoming more conservative? Or is this more about rich liberals not enjoying having someone "less fortunate" ruining the good life? Ah, the old liberal double standard: what's good for me is not good for thee. Do as I say, not as I do.
San Francisco yuppies have apparently had it with the many bums and drug addicts who are attracted to the city by the bay like a fly is attracted to rotting flesh. And now, the city might finally do something about it, with laws in the works that would make it more difficult for vagrants to hang around a particular corner all day, using the streets for everything from sleeping to urinating (and worse).
Gosh, what took you people so long?
Resident David Latterman had a couple of choice quotes in the article:
"People have realized they can hate George Bush but still not want people crapping in their doorway."
and
"People are just pissed. For the first time, even the left is saying they've had enough."
(As always, George Bush has to come into it somewhere. What will BDSers do when he's out of office?)
According to the SF Chronicle article, suddenly a number of residents are "homeowners and thus have a sense of ownership and emotional investment." Holy cow, am I reading right? Liberals who believe they are entitled to protect their investments that they worked hard to earn? What's next, asking the government to keep its greedy hands out of the taxpayer's pocket?
But don't let this article get your hopes up. San Francisco is still populated by a bunch of people who think they're better than you because they're "compassionate progressives" who believe the bums on the street are "victims." Don't believe me? Read the comments section accompanying the article.

I've read elsewhere this is hurting the tourism industry there.
