Residents of a San Francisco side street are so fed up with tents pitched on the sidewalk by homeless people that they have trucked in boulders to discourage camping.

About two dozen of the massive rocks, each weighing hundreds of pounds, create barriers on a half-block stretch of Clinton Park, a side street off Market and Dolores streets. The boulders don't block the sidewalk, but do limit the space available for tents.

Smith-Tan said the area is frequented by drug users who will "shoot up and stay overnight."

Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition On Homelessness, told KTVU the border installation is an example of "anti-homeless architecture."

The city does not plan to remove the boulders because they don't block the sidewalk, San Francisco Public Works Department spokeswoman Rachel Gordon said Tuesday. She added that the department is looking into sanctioning the installation.


San Francisco. Liberals.

In response, California will ban the term "homeless", as it reduces a person down to their living conditions. Habitat challenged is much less dehumanizing.

I wonder how much it cost to purchase the boulders, transportation, and arrangement?

Time is a funny thing. There is always too much of it, except when you need it the most. Then there is never enough.

You joke but I can totally see that happening in the future, at least on the local level. Berkeley banned gendered terms from being used in some official manner.

This is why we distinguish between high-income liberal tech hubs and places where disadvantaged folk are actually treated well and not spat on, wherever those places may be.


This. There's a reason why terms like "limousine liberal" and "champagne socialist" exist.

Not like right wingers give a shit about homeless anyway. You only bring this up to shit on all liberals.

They should push the boulders into the middle of the road.
