Previous post on SF homeless trouble didn't garner a blip [View all]

Yet even this morning yet another NY Post article blew the crazy top on the "blame Gavin" game.
I'm wondering if anyone else recalls: mid 1980's a San Francisco News investigation broadcast segment revealed the number of arrivals at San Francisco Greyhound station that had been handed tickets to San Francisco after release from jails all over the Western U.S.. It shed light on where some of the homeless population was coming from even back when.
I'm not surprised one bit now the Post played the "trash California" game. It even mentioned "as originally reported by Fox News."
But there's strong suspicion that little significant detail hasn't stopped, and can account for some of the more derelict troubles. Doubly not surprised at the "send our worst problems there then trash them for it" game afoot.
We certainly could use blowing the lid off that counterpoint again.
