Having lots of homeless people on the streets is the opposite of solving the homeless problem. SF should be demonized.

What beaner is saying is: If City A orders cops to hassle rough sleepers and panhandlers, closes homeless shelters and offers the homeless bus tickets to other cities; while City B doesn't do those things; then City B will have more homeless people on the streets despite the fact their policies are kinder, more charitable and more humane towards the homeless.

Only if you frame the problem as "I see homeless people".

And your framing is "homelessness isn't a problem" I assume then? Because that's San Francisco's policy.
