Based Barkley.
Is there some nuanced opinion about the state of the homeless in SF that we are missing or is the audience stupid?
Steph’s real legacy
Can someone explain the Curry comments to me in this thread? Am I stupid?
Curry is the most influential basketball player ever apparently
they crucified Jesus for telling the truth
Those boos probably came from rich people.
not just SF, unfortunately. Also in San Jose and the city where i live. homeless on the freeways, sidewalks, abandoned rivers, etc. besides the high living prices, it’s the biggest issue for me personally
As someone who grew up in the bay, the homelessness/crime problem has gotten far worse than it was when I was a kid, but I’d also say that the situation has been steadily improving over the past two years or so
Very common Barkley W
There’s homeless in Cali because the weather is tolerable all year round. Homeless in cold states literally get bussed here so they don’t die in the snow during the winter. I don’t see how most people don’t get this.
I mean what did you expect from the fans of Curry?
This country would vote to genocide the homeless if it could
San Francesco spent $852 million dollars on their homeless services in 2020-2021 which comes out to about $106,500 per homeless individual. This doesn’t include the resources from independent non-profits in the area which also serve the community. Money can’t solve this problem.
Legit, housing needs to be like an all you can eat buffet. No one gets seconds until everyone else has firsts.
People booing at “help the homeless” we have officially entered the Idiocracy-verse
Didn’t LA do this big homeless experiment spending 100s of millions on tiny home complexes for the homeless only for them to be ruined/destroyed in the first year?
If we don’t do something about mental health, housing solutions is just taxpayer money down the drain
lol SF has TRIED really fucking hard to help the homeless.
The amount of money this city spends on homeless programs is fucking insane. The problem is not “homelessness”… the problem is an addiction and mental health one. Most of the homeless don’t want to be helped… if they go to a shelter or a facility they can’t continue to use.
It’s an incredibly tough problem to solve but people in SF are fed up with it
Just imagine letting yourself be on film booing helping the homeless
Stupid crowd.
Big ups, Chuck. Fuck the scumbag crowd.
too bad the fed is too busy axing anything that can help those people so we can pay for your tax cuts chuck
They booing cuz that’s an obvious talking point. Why don’t they ever say they need to fix poverty during big games where Alabama or Kentucky colleges are involved. If you gunna praise the city don’t add your shitty political slant
As crazy as he be most times about basketball topics, I always side with Barkley on socially conscious topics and ethics. Dudes a down to earth guy who grew up poor never forgot where he came from.
Everyone is compassionate until the homeless are destroying your neighborhood.
Barkley speaking facts but Americans are so self centered sadly.
