San Francisco, city of (no) shame....
..a common sight in the streets of SF
US most expensive city (one out of 11 000 inhabitants in SF is a billionaire). Common working people can not afford to live there anymore due to property prices, rental cost (3000 dollars/monthly for one bedroom apartment), private tourist accommodation...and so on. One of the results of such a "wealthy" city is 10 000 homeless people living in the streets due to drug-related problems, mental health problems, unemployment (or miserable salaries), and poverty. Massive cutbacks to mental health and public housing development as a result of neoliberal carcinoma, pushed the situation to a breaking point out of control. Because what you see in the streets of San Francisco, a few blocks away from the most expensive hotels, is no longer what we in Europe call poverty. What goes on in SF is a profound dehumanization of the most vulnerable.
