Breaking Point
(Fox News) - That noted liberal haven San Francisco is said to be undergoing a transformation on the subject of homeless people. The San Francisco Chronicle reports residents are fed up with aggressive panhandlers, street squatters and drug users.
Local market researcher David Latterman says — "People have realized they can hate George Bush but still not want people crapping in their doorway... For the first time, even the left is saying they've had enough."
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has instituted a program of issuing citations to vagrants on sidewalks and streets that has led to an economic boom in the city's South of Market area — and 90 percent support for his program in one poll.
The executive director of the city's human services agency says it's a quality of life issue — not a conservative or liberal thing. Trent Rhorer says — "Maybe you just need a guy with a badge standing over them and saying, 'You can't stay there anymore.'"
