San Francisco Streets (Part 1)
Added 2023-11-08 02:40:06 +0000 UTCHey guys,
We've filmed a 4-part series called San Francisco Streets, that explores drugs, crime, and ultimately Harm Reduction services in the Tenderloin area. It's going to be a serious uphill battle getting any of this on YouTube, so it'll likely live as a Patreon-exclusive for quite some time.
This is Part 1! This episode features interviews with controversial 'video vigilante,' Richie Wynn, SFPOA President Tracey McCray and director of The Gubbio Project, Lydia Bransten, as well as several unhoused people living on the streets of SF.
In the next installment, which should release in a couple days, we'll shadow a retail theft group called 'Finesse' Em All,' responsible for much of the boosting at Union Square, sit down with a fentanyl dealer, a pimp, and beyond.
Hope you find this interesting.
- Andrew.

GeoMorbius
2023-12-02 18:09:19 +0000 UTC> While there is scientific consensus that bats are the ultimate source of coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 originated from a pangolin, jumped back to bats, and then jumped to humans, according to phylogenetic analysis. Therefore, a specific population of bats is more likely to be the intermediate host for SARS-CoV-2 than a pangolin, while an evolutionary ancestor to bats was the source for general coronaviruses

trythinking
2023-11-11 03:12:11 +0000 UTCits all the places that have been run by democrats pretty much. always blaming businesses and working people for the trash on the street. nah thats not how it works.
trythinking
2023-11-11 03:11:29 +0000 UTCdude no one is forcing anyone to go do hard drugs, steal, lie, live like trash....there is help available most anywhere. I work for a food bank and most of the people dont "need" anything...they just do drugs and find the free food and clothing handouts and never change. BUT people can change if they want to. Dont blame people for having money. Nothing is perfect, but they cant say shit until they at least stop killing themselves and stealing. You have no right to have input at that stage.
trythinking
2023-11-11 03:09:36 +0000 UTChonestly its hard to know where helping people and leaving them to their own devices cross over. trans person obviously needs mental help. its a health disorder. same as all the others out there. this is a problem liberals have made ten times worse than it should be.
trythinking
2023-11-11 03:06:21 +0000 UTCanother great episode , once again showing the other sides of things , i love rogan but heās always talking about ācleaning up the homelessā in SF and not once have they ever talked about gentrification and the impact it has had on the local communities.. rich people wanna get rid of the poor because itās hard to justify their actions when they have to see it face to face .

Nathaniel Skinner
2023-11-09 00:12:52 +0000 UTCBorn and raised in SF , still here. Itās always the people that couldnāt come close to living a comfortable life in San Fransisco that got the most to say. Their standard reply is āI would never want to live in San Fransiscoā which is fair enough , but letās be honest if the only thing you wanted out of life was to live in SF, you still couldnāt afford it ⦠you couldnāt do itā¦. So why are we talking ⦠so you can say you would never want to do something you couldnāt do anyways ? Yes the city has issues which big city doesnāt. But 90% of the city has zero homeless or duggies. Itās a world class city of extreme beauty ā¦. But letās focus on the 10% (2 neighborhoods) the tenderloin and civic center ā¦.

Thank for you this and giving people an idea that it isnāt just homelessness and drugs but a result of corporations, passiveness, and a disregard for the people. If you do another series revolving this, Iād love for you to check other places and get their feelings as well like Oakland, Berkeley , and nearby places that Tech has sunk their teeth into

Hell i feel like ive been thinking it too since moving from SF last year and seeing all those sensationalist headlines.

2023-11-08 03:20:43 +0000 UTCI was just there in may and had to ride a scooter to the weed shop. 5 miles round trip from the W weāre we stayed for a week. Not a single issue we sat outside every night to smoke. Thereās no shortage of available retail space though! I drove through a few spots that I didnāt want to stop in for sure but all n all uneventful! My family lives in the mission and it was quiet for the most part. Itās sad tho just like Seattle and Portland

aintnoprophet
2023-11-08 03:07:32 +0000 UTCI lived in San Francisco from 2014 to 2021, and spent much of my childhood vacations there in my uncleās apartment in the Castro on 19th & Sanchez. What I saw during my time living in SF I can only describe as rapid expansion of homelessness and unabashed drug abuse. The city ātriedā and is ātryingā to solve it, but nothing they did was ever enough. Used to live on the corner of Post & Larkin. I remember walking by people slouched over on the sidewalk with needles sticking out of their arms, clearly suffering in open daylight as we were all supposed to walk by and pretend it was normal. Pretend and chill out, that homelessness has always been a problem in SF. No. Not to the degree I saw in the 2010s. Something changed, and things got horrible.
