As a resident of the Bay Area, I often feel unsafe in San Francisco due to the prevalent homelessness and associated crime. Linkedin states that 60% of homeless people are involved in violent crimes displaying how this personal experience is not unique; many citizens share this sentiment. It's time we take action and address this pressing issue that affects our community's safety, health, and overall quality of life.

San Francisco has one of the highest rates of homelessness in the United States. According to a 2019 report by The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), there were approximately 8,011 homeless people living on San Francisco streets. This number has likely increased due to economic hardships brought about by recent global events.

We propose implementing strategies similar to those used during Rudy Giuliani's tenure as Mayor of New York City. These strategies led to significant reductions in homelessness through effective policies like transferring individuals from streets into homeless shelters or low-level housing units.

By adopting such measures, we can ensure that every citizen has access to safe shelter while also improving public safety within our city. We urge local authorities and policymakers in San Francisco to prioritize this issue and work towards creating a safer environment for all residents.

Please sign this petition if you believe that everyone deserves safe housing and secure neighborhoods. Together, we can make a difference!
