[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much of San Francisco’s housing problem was caused by unregulated foreign money in real estate.  We need to stop selling our country to other countries and non-citizens. [/quote]

Do you really think that a passed-out drug addict lying on the sidewalk would be all that much better off with a roof over his head? Any apartment you put him in would be a filthy wreck within a month. [b]SF has a drug and crime problem[/b] that dwarfs other issues like a housing shortage.[/quote]

But San Francisco actually has a far lower crime rate than many other cities - same with residents with substance abuse problems.

San Francisco has many problems to be solved - but one issue it does NOT have is being a uniquely unsafe city when it comes to crime rates.  That doesn't mean that San Francisco shouldn't address the crime in the city that his harming residents - but it's false to suggest that San Francisco's problems are 'because of crime'.

There's also foreign purchasing in San Fran that probably is driving up housing costs - but you can say the same about NYC, LA, Miami, and Chicago.  And if this is your grievance - what level of government do you propose will solve it...and what is the constituency of politicians who will support solving it&gt;
