She told reporters, “We are going to make them so uncomfortable on the streets of San Francisco that they have to take our offer” of shelter or housing. She continued, “We will be using law enforcement to cite, and those citations can get progressive and can lead to a misdemeanor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The intensified rhetoric comes as voter polling \u003ca href=\"https://www.bayareacouncil.org/press-releases/2022-bay-area-council-poll-voters-demand-get-tough-approach-on-homelessness/\">frequently shows homelessness is a top issue for San Franciscans\u003c/a> and as the incumbent seeks to overcome challengers’ accusations that she hasn’t done enough to clean the city’s streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It follows \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11997352/newsom-orders-state-agencies-to-dismantle-homeless-encampments-across-california\">Gov.

that often fail to efficiently and compassionately move people into long-term housing after an encampment is removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Policies to address homelessness must be humane, lawful and effective — not implemented just because someone’s job is on the line…What is happening now is a quick and performative election-year gimmick,” Peskin said in a statement. “Mayor Breed and former Mayor Farrell are advocating for failed policies from the past that simply sweep our homeless problem from one neighborhood to another without any long-term solutions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Tough Love\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Advocates for people experiencing homelessness say that although Breed’s rhetoric has ramped up, her actual policies have not changed as dramatically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Her narratives have shifted as she has seen political opportunity,” said Christin Evans, a small business owner in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood and vice chair of the city’s Homelessness Oversight Commission. “I think in this particular political moment, the rhetoric is amplified.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evans pointed to the mayor’s recent order \u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">that city workers conducting sweeps first offer homeless people \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998474/breed-orders-sf-homeless-outreach-workers-to-offer-relocation-out-of-city-before-shelter\"

it sound like she is doing something when it’s really theater,” Evans said. “She has been capable and able to address these issues all along, and she hasn’t done that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2018, when running for mayor, Breed promoted a tough-love approach in her plans to address homelessness. “There is nothing compassionate or safe about relegating people, particularly those suffering from mental health or addiction issues, to sleep on our streets,” she said at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed was also careful to contextualize homelessness as the result of larger structural inequalities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Homelessness often seems like a uniquely, or at least, acutely San Francisco problem. But it isn’t,” she \u003ca href=\"https://londonbreed.medium.com/a-bold-approach-to-homelessness-a42121dc586c\">wrote in a Medium post\u003c/a> during her campaign. “The federal government has been cutting supportive housing and homelessness funding for decades and leaving cities holding the bag.

The Supreme Court’s ruling in Grants Pass \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11993312/court-lifts-restrictions-on-sf-encampment-sweeps\">overturned that ruling\u003c/a>, giving the city more freedom to clear encampments even if shelters are full. The lower court, however, kept the city bound to its own requirement to “bag and tag” personal items during sweeps so people could later recover them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There has always been some level of (homeless) criminalization that’s taken place in San Francisco, but it’s been more behind the scenes,” said Jennifer Friedenbach, who leads the Coalition on Homelessness. “Fast-forward to today, and this administration is calling for arrests of unhoused people as if that is a potential solution to homelessness.

effective — not implemented just because someone’s job is on the line…What is happening now is a quick and performative election-year gimmick,” Peskin said in a statement. “Mayor Breed and former
