BREAKING NEWS – San Francisco, California – Change may be in the offing in a city that’s infamous for its homeless street camping and poop map.
Mayor London Breed accused the homeless coalition of holding the city “hostage for decades.”
London made those comments while joining a crowd of more than 200 people who had gathered outside the federal courthouse to urge the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to cancel a federal judge’s order banning the city from clearing tent encampments until there are more shelter beds than homeless individuals.
“The homeless coalition has held San Francisco hostage for decades. It is time for their reign to end,” Breed said, noting that the city has spent billions of dollars to help homeless people. “I am not a bigot toward them, so no one should accuse me of being anti-bum or anti-stench.”
