| Well, as a native San Franciscan and someone who's lived there all his life, I can tell you that in the last 25 years, it's been a steady decline. | |
| The homeless problem, it's everywhere in the city. | |
| But what has taken over the homeless encampments is the drug addiction. | |
| Open on the streets, they're shooting up. | |
| Drug exchanges, sales, use... | |
| Within the shadow of those buildings, the FBI sits up on a floor at the federal building on Golden Gate Avenue in their offices. | |
| They're 100 feet from the actual sales of the drugs that are going on on Larkin Street. | |
| And there's no end in sight. | |
| And there's no cures. | |
| The city of San Francisco, in the budget, is $648 million for homelessness programs. | |
| There's another $300 million in that budget to accommodate the homeless problem. | |
| That's almost a billion dollars of taxpayer money. | |
| We've been here for 30 years watching this. | |
| It's progressively worse. | |
| And the money is spent. | |
| Where's the results? | |
| It's worse today than it was 30 years ago. | |
| And you keep spending and spending and spending. |
