Apparently very few of the people here have ever been in a desperate situation. Having your every worldly belonging destroyed is devastating, and it's not a human who would do that to someone.
Not only that, while there are places set up specifically for the homeless, these dudes don’t go there and instead just squat on any park they please.
I love them unconditionally. But the rules and laws are in place to prevent anarchy such as this. They choose to give us all the bird and cry when consequences are applied.

Seconded. The government has created this problem and the anger it causes. Id just move but hard to judge folks who may have actually grown up in San Francisco

TDFreak, I do agree with you on this point. I've been in contact with hundreds, if not thousands of homeless, over the past 29 years in my profession. The vast majority do not take advantage of the things available to them, because they are not allowed to be there while under the influence of...anything. Most just choose the street.
That being said, there are some who already lost everything, are genuinely having the worst time of their life, and would give almost anything to improve their situation.
It is a blight, but my point is simply that destroying or ruining everything someone has is not the way to go. I see and understand the viewpoints of most people here, but respectfully disagree about the way this was done.
