San Francisco Mayor London Breed was heckled and jeered during a raucous community meeting Wednesday to discuss a controversial homeless center
proposal along the city’s waterfront that has attracted dueling online fundraisers from critics and supporters.

"Homelessness is the number one problem that we face in our city. You
cannot be upset about homelessness and then when I propose a real
solution, then you’re upset about it," Breed said while trying to discuss
plans to build a 200-bed Homeless Navigation Center in the city's
Embarcadero section.

The area is part of California's 12th Congressional District, represented
by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat.

City officials described the planned facility and addressed security and
noise concerns. The site is owned by the Port of San Francisco and is
currently a parking lot surrounded by high-rise luxury condominiums. The
center would occupy 44,000-square feet. A lease is planned for four years.

"Today was a sales pitch. It was not a community meeting, as evidenced by
them focusing on the lighting, and the colors and the look and feel of the facility, and not what's happening to the people on the inside," said
resident Chris Curtis, who lives near the site.

Breed – who in 2018 had announced a plan to create 1,000 new shelter beds within two years – was eventually shouted down by critics and cut her
address short.

“Either you let me speak, or you leave,” she responded. “I can’t continue,
but I will stay and listen to the comments. The least we could do is show respect for one another.”

The exchange was representative of the opposition from some waterfront residents who fear the 24-hour shelter will negatively impact the area and their quality of life, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

“They all have mental health issues and drug and alcohol abuse,” said
resident Shadan Golkar, who said she’d support low-income housing at the
site, but rejected the idea of a homeless center.

Rival online fundraisers have sprung up in recent weeks to support and
oppose the shelter. Critics raised more than $91,000 as of Thursday
morning to hire Andrew Zacks, a land-use attorney, to oppose the project
from moving forward.

A competing fundraiser raised $162,000 to support the San Francisco
Coalition on Homelessness, which supports the plan.

Matt Carson lives a block from the proposed site and brought his 1-year-
old son to the meeting. He said he hopes to someday tell his child that
his father and their neighbors “did everything we could to help the
homeless. If this doesn’t happen, we’ll just keep seeing the same people
in distress on the street,” he told the paper.

Jeff Kositsky, director of the city’s Department of Homelessness and
Supportive Housing, pointed out the number of homeless people sleeping on
the street.

"We counted 179 people sleeping outside on the street in the area one
night and if we open this facility, all of those people could be indoors," KTVU-TV reported.

The Port Commission will vote on the matter on April 23.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
