Thousands of people are homeless in San Francisco, and even more throughout the Bay Area. Despite years of concern and millions of dollars of investment, the problem persists.

Instead of violence, she sees the effects as emotional distress. “The folks who for the last 20 years have lived in that neighborhood all come from a colonized background,” she says. “So to have that trauma again hurts on an even deeper level because you always feel like you’re being pushed out of what you’ve tried to make your own.” \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“People feel politically disenfranchised.” \u003ccite>Caleb Smith\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Asked about the social and political effects of gentrification on San Francisco, Shepard predicts, “I just think it’s going to turn into a place where it’s gonna be a bunch of people who have no real emotional investment in the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shepard’s interviewer wasn’t surprised by her outlook.

About 500 of them are living out of their vehicles, according to Ray Bramson, San Jose’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanjoseca.gov/index.aspx?NID=738\">homelessness response manager\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the solutions the city is looking at is finding safe parking lots where people can park and get connected to housing and long-term services,” Bramson says. He notes the city has identified one potential partner and is working out some issues to have it as a pilot site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike San Francisco, where tent encampments are easily spotted on sidewalks and under freeway overpasses, many of San Jose’s homeless stay out of sight by setting up shelter deep along the city’s 140 miles of trails, creeks and riverbeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the case with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/12/04/homeless-evicted-from-the-jungle-in-san-jose\">The Jungle\u003c/a>, which was one of the nation’s largest homeless encampments until the city shut it down in 2014. More than 300 people were moved out and the area was fenced off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We returned to the site of The Jungle recently with Leonard Jackson, who says he spent five years living there.

This happened decades ago by design as L.A.’s transient population blossomed. The homeless and the services they needed were directed to one part of the city that, at least at one time, was mostly a ghost town after government offices and garment factories shut down for the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While it may appear to be a convenient solution, in the end it doesn't work,\" says Mike Alvidrez, director of the Skid Row Housing Trust, \"unless you address the root cause, which is homelessness.

County also has a proposal to generate more homeless funding, with an emphasis on housing, by taxing its most wealthy residents. People who earn over $1 million a year would see their taxes rise by one-half percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Mike Antonovich is one of the lone voices opposing the so-called millionaire’s tax. He says the county already has one of the highest tax rates in the U.S. He doesn’t think the proposal fully addresses the root causes of homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent hearing he pointed to outreach the county did on public buses and metro lines, trying to steer homeless people to available shelters and other services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(Most) refuse treatment and walk away. I have called in on the homeless I see, driving to and from work. Regardless how hot it is or how cool, they refuse shelter,” says Antonovich. “They are mentally ill. They need assistance; they need medical help. Having just another revenue source to build another house is not addressing the root cause of the problem for those people who are mentally and physically ill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, a group of supervisors has introduced a November ballot measure designed to ban street encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11004893\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11004893 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tent-800x510.jpg\" alt=\"A homeless man sleeps in front of his tent along Van Ness Avenue in downtown San Francisco, California on June, 27 2016. \" width=\"800\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tent-800x510.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tent-400x255.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tent.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tent-1180x753.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tent-960x613.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A homeless man sleeps in front of his tent along Van Ness Avenue in downtown San Francisco, California, on June, 27 2016. \u003ccite>(Josh Edelson/AFP/Getty Images))\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>If approved by voters, those living in tents and other makeshift shelters could be forcibly removed if they declined to move to an available shelter or transitional housing facility. Supporters of the proposed crackdown argue the tents pose health and safety risks, both for the people who live in them and residents who have to live and work around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As a city, we need to have a policy that we're not enabling individuals or groups of people to set up tents and allow the city to be complacent in that issue,” says Supervisor Mark Farrell, who authored the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Again, I don't think it's healthy for anybody,\" he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics say the city doesn't have nearly enough shelter beds to accommodate the number of people currently living on the street, and that the move is nothing more than political grandstanding.\u003cbr>\nIn Los Angeles, there is also criticism that the city is funneling the lion’s share of money currently budgeted for homelessness to police enforcement in places like Skid Row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're going to go after bond measures, millionaire's taxes, but at the same time we continue to create costly ordinances that are going to cost us in the court of law,” says Pete White, director of the Los Angeles Community Action Network based in Skid Row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new ordinance approved by the L.A. City Council aims to prohibit homeless people from “lodging” in vehicles parked near homes and schools.

County also has a proposal to generate more homeless funding, with an emphasis on housing, by taxing its most wealthy residents. People who earn over $1 million a year would see their taxes rise by one-half percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Mike Antonovich is one of the lone voices opposing the so-called millionaire’s tax. He says the county already has one of the highest tax rates in the U.S. He doesn’t think the proposal fully addresses the root causes of homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent hearing he pointed to outreach the county did on public buses and metro lines, trying to steer homeless people to available shelters and other services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(Most) refuse treatment and walk away. I have called in on the homeless I see, driving to and from work. Regardless how hot it is or how cool, they refuse shelter,” says Antonovich. “They are mentally ill. They need assistance; they need medical help. Having just another revenue source to build another house is not addressing the root cause of the problem for those people who are mentally and physically ill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, a group of supervisors has introduced a November ballot measure designed to ban street encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11004893\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11004893 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tent-800x510.jpg\" alt=\"A homeless man sleeps in front of his tent along Van Ness Avenue in downtown San Francisco, California on June, 27 2016. \" width=\"800\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tent-800x510.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tent-400x255.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tent.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tent-1180x753.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tent-960x613.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A homeless man sleeps in front of his tent along Van Ness Avenue in downtown San Francisco, California, on June, 27 2016. \u003ccite>(Josh Edelson/AFP/Getty Images))\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>If approved by voters, those living in tents and other makeshift shelters could be forcibly removed if they declined to move to an available shelter or transitional housing facility. Supporters of the proposed crackdown argue the tents pose health and safety risks, both for the people who live in them and residents who have to live and work around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As a city, we need to have a policy that we're not enabling individuals or groups of people to set up tents and allow the city to be complacent in that issue,” says Supervisor Mark Farrell, who authored the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Again, I don't think it's healthy for anybody,\" he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics say the city doesn't have nearly enough shelter beds to accommodate the number of people currently living on the street, and that the move is nothing more than political grandstanding.\u003cbr>\nIn Los Angeles, there is also criticism that the city is funneling the lion’s share of money currently budgeted for homelessness to police enforcement in places like Skid Row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're going to go after bond measures, millionaire's taxes, but at the same time we continue to create costly ordinances that are going to cost us in the court of law,” says Pete White, director of the Los Angeles Community Action Network based in Skid Row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new ordinance approved by the L.A. City Council aims to prohibit homeless people from “lodging” in vehicles parked near homes and schools. But people will be allowed to sleep in their vehicles -- sedans, trucks or RV’s -- from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. in commercial areas and in the parking lots of certain churches and nonprofits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That crackdown coincides with a seemingly contradictory move by the Los Angeles Police Commission, directing officers to show more “compassion and empathy” when it comes to day-to-day encounters with the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many officers, especially those with the challenge of patrolling Skid Row, argue they already show a great deal of patience and compassion when working a part of the city with the highest concentration of mental illness, street violence and drug abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The enforcement costs us a lot of money. We are pursuing policies to criminalize people who are living in their vehicles, but we clearly don't have anywhere else for people to go,” says L.A.

If we had the kind of affordable housing funding we had way back, decades ago, it’d be a different picture. If the minimum wage paid what it paid decades ago, instead of half what it did in 1980 in terms of buying power, we’d have a different picture.

Thirty percent of Americans are at or near the poverty level. When you have that level of poverty, you’re not going to eliminate homelessness; you’re fixing homelessness on the other end. If we had the kind of affordable housing funding we had way back, decades ago, it’d be a different picture. If the minimum wage paid what it paid decades ago, instead of half what it did in 1980 in terms of buying power, we’d have a different picture. So we’re essentially bailing the tide out.” – Kevin Fagan\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Other Cities Sending Homeless People to the Bay Area\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Through my years of coverage, I’ve visited homeless enclaves all over the country. Every city says that people are sending their homeless people to them, even cold cities. The weather’s good out here, so you get a few more. But I don’t think there’s a giant influx of people coming out here … I just don’t buy the idea that if you do better, you’re going to become the Disneyland of Homelessness.” -Kevin Fagan\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Nearby shops sell fine cigars and custom suits. A bar serves $16 martinis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the streets that surround this regal building also are home to some of Sacramento’s most destitute residents, many suffering from mental illness or drug addiction in addition to extreme poverty. It’s not uncommon to see them rifling through trashcans, shouting incoherently or sleeping barefoot in the shade on the Capitol’s manicured grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bridging these two worlds is Debbie Bartley, a 55-year-old grandmother who stands across the street selling Homeward, a newspaper produced by homeless people. She chats with the political staffers and lobbyists who give her a few dollars as they pass by. Then she buys food for people who sleep on these streets.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
