4. There is substantial 'fatigue' over the homeless problem in San Francisco..

From one of the commenters on sfgate:

"...that the vast majority of us suffer from "compassion fatigue." We simply have had enough. We can only do so much for so many for so long."

Yes, the $500 fines are absurd. That said, San Francisco is a great place to visit, but any visit there includes compulsory in-your-face encounters with aggressive panhandling --some of which are downright frightening. Living there 24/7 must take serious fortitude. FWIW, I live in Cleveland -so it's not like I'm insulated from the problem.
