Shelter alone is not the answer for most of the people we see. They have severe mental disorders and/or drug addiction. To begin they need 24 hour treatment In the meantime we watch our city slip away. People and businesses avoid downtown; it is unsafe. Our mayor doesn’t seem to get it. We need a better plan. The mayor of San Francisco knows what to do. Going to Europe is not the answer. Visit San Francisco and learn; it’s cheaper and more relevant to the issues we have here.

Clear, concise, and IMHO spot on about what is needed and what is currently impeding it.

But what got me the most was when he was talking about sticking your hand over a burning fire just as the street car comes behind with “Human-Caused Wildfires” behind him. While not the precise analogy he was using (nor the intent of the ad behind him), we keep sticking our hand over our own human-caused wildfire. It keeps hurting us and we keep doing the same thing again and again, rather than working to contain it.
