Homelessness In San Francisco

Why San Francisco is REALLY Helping the Homeless San Francisco is known for both its wealthy residents and its expanding homeless population. Employees in San Francisco are currently trying to eradicate poverty by sending homeless individuals to shelters.

The only logical incentive for Lee targeting homelessness in Super Bowl City is to reduce homelessness where tourists will presumably visit. Although San Francisco’s motivation for helping the homeless is unethical, I still hope that this effort will continue after the Super Bowl. As Kim states, “ We should be making sure that we’re delivering services throughout the city not just because of a special
