Being Poor is not a crime.
Newsom's panhandling proposal is the most contentious issue to hit San Francisco since I've been here. Even moreso than public power. But the thing is, Newsom has one thing on his side: a plan. Nobody else has shit. Empty slogans (see above) won't accomplish anything. Me, I'm against his proposal. Fining and jailing poor people doesn't get them off the streets (except temporarily, and would anyone argue that we need to start jailing the homeless?) But I don't have a plan, other than bussing the homeless to Hollywood. All I can do, at this point, is throw rocks. And that solves nothing.
But the noise the glass makes when it comes crashing down sure is pretty.
