Bill Walton calls out San Diego mayor for homelessness crisis

Sounds like the same thing that is happening in Dallas. Every intersection downtown has panhandlers, every underpass has tent setups and every alley is full of homeless communities.

San Diego saw a record-high of 1,609 homeless people in the downtown area alone earlier this month, and Bill Walton has had enough. The NBA legend has sent a number of emails to Mayor Todd Gloria about the crisis and how he has failed. Now, Walton is making his complaints public.
According to The Voice of San Diego, Walton emailed Mayor Gloria as early as Aug. 28 about his failures while explaining that he had recently been assaulted by the homeless while riding his bike.

"You have failed, us and yourself," a Sept. 2 email reportedly read.
"Once again, while peacefully riding my bike early this Sunday morning in Balboa Park, I was threatened, chased, and assaulted by the homeless population, in our park," Walton wrote on Aug. 28.
Walton is the unofficial spokesperson of San Diego, not because he’s arguably the most famous resident in the area, but because he’s lived in the same San Diego neighborhood for 43 years

How many homeless in his home?

classic case of: what you vote for, you get.

Wonder why he didn't call a counselor to assist these homeless people who keep assaulting him.

Exactly. These people love embracing their feel-good policies until they have to personally deal with the consequences (while also demonizing people for pointing out what will inevitably happen).
See the folks at Martha's Vineyard

I encourage you to travel to San Diego; you will find that what is going on in Dallas is nowhere the level of California’s debacle.

These are not feel good policies causing this shite. There was a federal court ruling in the case of Martin v. Boise that prohibits cities from enforcing anti-camping laws if they do not provide enough homeless shelter spots.
As a result, Ninth Circuit states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington) have limited recourse to stop these encampments on public property.
In 2019, SCOTUS declined to hear the case.

Walton and his ilk brought a LOT of Trump hate to basketball broadcasts. Walton openly supported the policies that led to this.
Frick him. Reap what you sow.

Bill Walton should email himself about his entire life of supporting the liberalism disease that has now taken over our country.

I love it when leftists have to live with the real life consequences of their decisions and policies.

What a shame. Maybe popovich can be his bodyguard as they ride bikes through the homeless hoards of evil trumpists.

Interesting to see if any of the "fiscal conservative/socially libertarian" talking heads in California -- Cowherd, Rome, Rusillo -- have any comments o this.

Not nearly as much as San Diego, but it is present

How do you tell the difference between 'homeless' and a plain old bum?

The wife and I spent a week in San Diego a couple of years ago. Our hotel was right by Petco and the convention center. The whole area was overrun by the homeless and smelled like a pissy urinal. We were accosted multiple times. frick San Diego, an expensive as hell, vagrant-infested shithole. But the weather's nice.
