Every solid blue city has its horrors -- from murders in Chicago to organized thievery in San Francisco.
In San Diego, where I live, the problem is homeless attacks. Seems the homeless aren't just unsightly, unsanitary, or famous spreaders of disease, they're dangerous, and when you have a lot of them, you have a lot of unprovoked random assaults on law-abiding residents. The problem is out there, and too bad for those who don't like it. San Diego's new leftist mayor, Todd Gloria, is de facto advising the victims that he's going to create more of it.
Here's the local NBC News report:

Time to start posting the residential addresses of blue government clowns like this and offering the homeless transportation to that location--in the back of the pickup, or course.
Also, when I'm behind one of those virtue-signaling drivers who thinks that giving a dollar or two to the street corner panhandler is going to earn them a place in heaven, I yell out "Don't be so cheap; give him/her a twenty!" and watch them squirm.

The headline is redundant. Leftist anything will always promote the idiotic 'solution.'

You always get more of what you subsidize. San Diego is subsidizing bums and vagrants, so they are getting more. And a certain portion of bums and vagrants are violent, literally insane, as in should be locked up permanently in a mental ward.
An old college roommate lives in San Diego, and I used to visit often. Visits have been getting fewer and farther between in the last decade or two, mostly due to the increasing problems of California. There are still many fun and interesting things to do there, but the cost in irritation, actual expense and endless numbers of illegals everywhere certainly detracts.

Finally, an article about a messed up place in California no where near me!
The entire coastal section is a mess but I've never lived anywhere near San Diego so not at all my fault in any way on this one.
Hopefully they keep re-electing this guy so San Francisco isn't known as the only stupid place in California.

Ah, but rainbow flags are everywhere these days, even along some roads out in the county.

Maybe they will do something about this when the homeless start killing and eating the animals in their famous zoo.
I visited SD 12 years ago and both it and the zoo were lovely. Leftists truly do destroy everything.

FTA: “ "For those individuals who raise up the issue of homelessness as a concern, I'd ask them to be a part of the solution," Gloria said. "I'd ask them to participate in the efforts.”
In a sense he’s right: it’s going to take huge efforts. Not the “I don’t want to be inconvenienced” effort his voters have in mind, at most a perfunctory Saturday morning or Thanksgiving meal.
His voters apparently don’t know it, but what they want is a huge supply of drugs which create psychosis and other malignant effects and no institutionalization of the “homeless.”
Perhaps it will take 60% of his voters’ waking efforts to deal with the problem ultimately, since the “homeless” will require pretty much around the clock engagement to prevent the situation from endlessly deteriorating.
I’m not sure they meant to vote for that. Too bad The Gullibles believe that a pleasant functioning society just happens by itself.

This twisted and insane mentality being restricted to Left wing s***h***s like San Francisco or Seattle is one thing. But when it moves to Washington and occupies halls of Congress and the White House, it is time to not only take notice but firm action.

There are some less restrictive states that would ensure an attacker only tried it once.

Todd is new to the job and way over his head, our Republican mayor Faulconer was termed out so now we are stuck with his opposite. Like all elections in this state none are fair. The homeless issue was slowly being reduced but of course now most of Faulconer's policies have been reversed. Faulconer is now running for governor.
My solution is to provide free fentanyl.

What you subsidize, you get more of. In this case, homelessness.

Native San Diegan here. Live in the county still, but not city of San Diego. My mom lives in a very, very nice and pricey part of the city. There are many homeless causing problems. One guy is a crazy dude who intentionally picks at open wounds to garner sympathy and money. He is a registered sex offender and has been caught on numerous occasions masterbating in front of the local parochial and public grade schools. The cops cannot do anything except arrest and release. Policy. It’s sick. This guy is a menace and yet...nothing. It’s sickening. Todd Gloria is a gay man who only cares about the liberal gay agenda. He’s awful. All the homeless need to be rounded up and given the choice to get clean or move on. Period.

The mayor's solution is very logical - - and even brilliant.
If the assaulter has a home - - then he's no longer a "homeless assaulter." Therefore - - "assaults by homeless persons" will automatically decrease significantly.
It's the perfect answer.

Hey Gloria, try that experiment first on pigeons and squirrels before you try it with people. The embarrassment will be less intensive when you are out there carrying sacks of peanuts around and shoveling the sidewalk.
Maybe you could propose a swimming contest to them. The first homeless guy to reach Coronado Island while in possession of both hands and both feet gets a steak dinner. Do it every day and sell tickets. The problem will disappear before you know it and the sharks will absolutely love you.
