Free tickets???
To where? Oakland, Portland, San Diego, LA, or???
San Francisco Mayor London Breed is having city workers and police who are conducting sweeps to get the homeless out of their tent encampments offer bus tickets out of town instead of a shelter bed.
It's just the latest signal from Breed that times have changed in San Francisco and a real attempt is being made to address the crisis of homelessness.

Of note, LA is basically blowing Newsome et al off, as they don't have any way to move ALL of the homeless they've got down there, and more coming in the fall/winter as the homeless move south from Seattle and Portland.
As we've discussed before, there is a 'cycle' to the homeless on the left coast moving south to north as the weather warms, then back south as the weather gets cold.
This has been going on at least 20 years, if not longer, because the state governments don't want to 'upset' the LWLs that donate money to the various Dem organizations.
Personally, I think this is going to be swept under the rug as quickly as possible, and nothing 'concrete' will actually be done to upset the homeless 'applecart'.
It will be 'business as usual' on the left coast.
The only reason this is such a California problem is the perpetually mild weather. It’s one of the only states west of the Mississippi where people can survive year-round without shelter. Yes, I know the Native Americans did it in the plains for thousands of years, but they also had tight knit communities and the institutional knowledge needed to survive. California is one of the few places where someone can survive the environment with little to no knowledge of outdoor survival.
The only reason they sweep up homeless is for optics. The head of Communist China came to San Francisco, and no homeless to be found. 🤦♂️ Chinese agents already had photos of the homeless before the visit. You can't pretend that the homeless weren't there before.
Oh, well. It would make for an entertaining thriller to have spies among the homeless in a capital city suddenly turned loose on the infrastructure. 🤷♂️
