Unhoused folks desperately wish they could work. They loathe relying on social services for food and housing. Fuck you. They didn't choose this. Burn in hell.

Libs 100% do believe that its a choice
In my area it's popular to quote the city's (self-reported) figures on how many people refuse shelter as proof that homeless people just "don't want help," while remaining willfully ignorant that the "help" offered is usually a one-night stay on a cot in an overcrowded shelter that separates you from your belongings, pets, and family. It's unreal that libs and chuds actually believe that the gov is handing out free housing
If 75% of homeless people are turning down your “help” maybe you should examine what makes your “help” so bad people would rather live on the streets
separates you from your belongings, pets, and family.
And often the medication keeping you alive. A lot of "shelters" don't allow "drug use" on the premises. People addicted to fentanyl for example need to frequently dose to keep from going into crippling withdrawal. If you can't dose at the shelter then you simply can't stay at that shelter because you'll soon be too sick to even function.
Most shelters don't require sobriety anymore (though as I understand it, some do) and libs act as if that's already too lenient. Well not having to be sober is not the same thing as being permitted to possess and use your medication while there, which can get you immediately kicked out. But even the no sobriety requirement thing is being challenged as they're trying to pass laws that would deny anyone who isn't sober from access to shelters, laws they of course frame as "supporting for sober housing." The libs want to means test everyone, and one of the primary ways is to drug test people before providing any kind of "benefits" (read: basic humans needs).
separates you from your belongings, pets, and family
And actively prevents and/or punishes you from self medicating i.e. weed
I’m sure plenty of them will love help. There’s just one small problem, the only way to reliably do that is to make an effort to lower property values.
California isn’t the hub for the tech industry, it’s the hub for the real estate industry. And business is good, too good.
Vote blue sweetie, otherwise Trump would just kill them.
exactly! our plan to forcibly relocate them until they simply cease to exist is much more humane!
It's funny because Hitler did the same thing with their homeless people before the 1936 Olympics to maintain the ideology of a "Clean" G*rmany... Libs are fascists.
There's help?
Wait concentration camps arent help?
Workhouses 2.0
Fuck, libs are just going to reinvent workhouses, aren't they?
Farm labor would be my guess
Or they get the hose again.
The mayor is gifting every homeless person forty acres and a mule.
SOON
Bold of Star Trek to assume SF liberals wouldn’t immediately form death squads to murder every homeless person they see
Lots of wine liberals and tech bazingas would get really excited about those death squads, especially if they looked like their respective treats (NAFO-esque black ops killers or CYBERPUNKERINO... black ops killers).

Soooo...what help are they offering? $5 and a coupon for half off one coffee at Starbucks?
When I lived near there, billionaire vampires had disruptively innovative ideas like making homeless people carry wifi equipment and become portable wifi nodes if they wanted a few pennies.

“Help”
Loads of comments in these threads.
why did i click into any of those lol
love this comment tho
[–]nogoodnamesleft426 44 points 2 days ago* This didn't happen in SF, but i remember sometime 10-12 years ago, i was in Mountain View and saw an RV parked on the street next to a DIY car wash, and there was a long orange extension cord plugged into an outlet on the car wash property with the other end of the extension cord leading into the RV.
The owner/driver of the RV was so blatantly siphoning electricity that i called the non-emergency number of the police department to report it. I did wait around to see that they sent two officers to talk to the RV owner, but i ended up leaving before i could see if they made him unplug his cord or not.
I understand completely the plight of some of the RV folks who are truly struggling and who work around here and genuintely need help. But regardless of if that's the case or not, i have ZERO sympathy for things like siphoning electricity or gas, leaving garbage and in general causing trouble. If the police need to come down hard on those people, so be it.
Edit: why TF am i being downvoted? Can anyone explain what is so bad/wrong about my comment? You really think it's okay for someone to just steal someone else's electricity like that? Who the hell do you think has to pay the electrical bill every month??
WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NARC ON SOMEONE STEALING ELECTRICITY FROM A RANDOM CARWASH. bunch of fucking losers. seriously.
why did i click into any of those lol
I was going to quote some comments but the temptation to fed post became too great.
There is something seriously wrong with these stormfronters.
Inside every CHUD is a kid who was Hall Monitor once and never got over the power trip.
power trip
I see what you did there 
I did wait around to see that they sent two officers to talk to the RV owner
nobody who sells their labor-power hourly has time for this shit
this is a core memory for him. this reddit pig probably doesn't remember his mothers birthday, but he can vividly recall one time he almost got someone killed for petty theft
If the police need to come down hard on those people, so be it.
mf'er watches the rodney king tape with a boaner
Oh no, not committing barely noticeable power theft from a car wash
Let's send those commenters to the camps instead. 
For my sanity, I assume I do NOT want to look at these
r/neoliberal is one of the most astroturfed subreddits on an astroturfed site, no one should ever subject their psyche to it
It's where the ghoulish blood thralls of the vampire clans set forth to convince everyone to invite them in and bare their necks.
Insane the amount of people that are like "do my neighborhood next!"
It's becoming so normalized I can guarantee these apes are gonna report their neighbors to the secret police for being too loud in 5 years.

Pretty revealing that all the liberal talk about “hurting marginalized people” never includes the homeless.
Libs love to ignore things like material conditions. They'll shout "Trans rights!" all day but then turn around and sic the pigs on homeless trans kids who were disowned by their families. Any LGBTQ+ people, really. One of my friends was homeless at 13 when he came out as gay to his parents.
These people are just awful. The older I get, the more I understand Stalin's purges and China's Cultural Revolution.
Look, if Trump gets elected the homeless could end up in camps... Erm... What I meant to say is...

"Help" California Uber Alles remains relevant.
In 2023, 65% of people offered shelter by our workers rejected those offers. This year, that number has risen to 75%. Out of 617 engagements by our teams over the last two weeks, only 77 people accepted shelter. That means 88% of the people we encountered refused to accept a roof over their heads. This is unacceptable.
Why? They can't be refusing shelter for no reason.
Since 2018, we’ve expanded shelter slots by over 60% and housing slots by more than 50%. We have more housing for the formerly homeless than any county in the Bay Area, including counties with larger homeless populations. Per capita, we have more homes for the formerly homeless than any city in the country, other than Washington, D.C. We’ve helped over 15,000 people exit homelessness since I took office. And another 10,000 have received rental assistance or other support to prevent them from falling into homelessness.
Ok. But is that enough to do this sort of ultimatum successfully?
And we need to build more housing. I’m not just talking about permanent supportive housing — we need more homes across our entire city so people don’t fall into homelessness. We cannot address homelessness without building homes — tens of thousands of them — to make this city more affordable and accessible. Until the Bay Area and California begin building much, much more housing, we will still struggle. (And the demise this week of the regional housing bond is a frustrating setback.)
Oh ok so there isn't enough homes to do this but we're going to do it anyway.

london breed? 
Nominative determinism intensifies, brought to you by billionaires named Lynch and Musk
Clicking thru about the first dozen shelter results I could find a site for, each one seemed to have about 40 beds on offer on average
There are around 100 shelters total
There are roughly 8k homeless in SF this year. around 4k sheltered, which kind of aligns with my guess math
Where they all gonna shelter, motherfucker? You offering up your house?
"accept help or die"
"there is no help for me to accept"
"exactly
