Landlords are going on a capital strike, holding thousands of units vacant while homelessness reaches Great Depression era levels. Clearly a profit driven system will never solve the housing crisis. We need social housing and tenant control.

There are folks who are experiencing homelessness and have a job. Having a job is not some magical title that makes everyone upper-middle class. Telling our unhoused neighbours to “just get a job” is ridiculous.

There are 61,000 SF housing units, rentals included, that are sitting empty on any given day for one of a variety of reasons, and putting even a fraction of these into service as supportive housing would solve homelessness in the city overnight. https://t.co/Uc3L0owoNP

We have two options: – Universal housing -Homelessness There is one rational option and one extreme option. Allowing over 500,000 people to sleep on the streets tonight is extreme.

New info surfaces in San Francisco police shooting of #AlexNieto

“Police fired 48 bullets at Nieto, who died in minutes. The autopsy shows he was wounded 14 times; five of those bullets hit his head and torso at an angle that suggests they struck Nieto after he hit the ground.”

Sourced through Scoop.it from: abc7news.com

#AlexNieto had just completed his Associates degree in criminology.
There was no evidence that he fired his tazer at the scene. None. A bystander said Nieto had his hands in his pockets.
