Back up a second there mate!
Are you seriously trying to claim its currently illegal to be poor and homeless in San Francisco? Because that would be some other world counterproductive law.
Anyway, never personally been to the states, let alone San Francisco. But considering that's where Silicon valley is, then logic would dictate there are a lot of incredibly wealthy people living there as well.
So maybe, that's the cause of this whole poverty and homelessness hysteria I keep hearing about San Francisco... maybe it's not that actual poverty is so much worse in San Francisco, than most other major cities. But rather that they just stand out so much more, when compared to the large ridiculously wealthy population, who also reside in San Francisco.

What needs to happen is the homeless should be taken to internment camps or detention centres where they are made to work in exchange for a bed and food. This should be followed with the poor and any undesirables and people who don’t think the right way such as democrats and libertarians. Anyone who disagrees or disobeys should be rounded up and shot as an example to others.
You sarcasm tells me that you approve of allowing children to live on the streets and sleep on the ground out of compassion

As most of us already know, San Francisco's homelessness problem is out of control. People are camping in the parks, as well as on public sidewalks, and the problem is getting worse.

Speaking of public defacation why is nobody pointing at “big brother” or the “cabal”who has taken one massive dump on us all?

Actually I despise the system that lets this happen. You asked what am I doing about it? I’m fighting that system tooth and nail.
The cheating corrupt banks aren’t the ones that are to big to fail. People are to important to fail. If the government could get its priorities right it could end poverty just like that. Instead we live in a system designed to keep an increasing majority in perpetual debt.

No, what city is the one that implemented the things you claimed in your post?
