Great article in today's Salon (requires Salon Premium subscription to access) about upcoming ballot initiatives dealing with San Francisco's very visible homeless problem. For those of you who haven't visited SF lately, you may not have witnessed the sea of addicts, mentally unsound and otherwise who populate the donwtown area. Conjure up your image of Calcutta, India and you're on the right track.
The ballot initiatives are causing a furor because they introduce a bit of a tough love approach to a traditionally tolerant, liberal city. But having waded through the bodily detritus of the homeless for 6 years and having passed the same people day after day, I for one am for a new approach. Whatever we're doing now is not working. And I don't thinking I'm lacking in compassion to try something new -- for the sake of everybody concerned.
