In 2004, when Willie Brown was about to give up her seat to Gavin Newsom as mayor of San Francisco, he publicly stated that the problem of undocumented shelters in San Francisco was perhaps these problems can not be solved.
"Inhabitant" has Golden Gate Park or elsewhere, they would be 6.514 according to the latest census date of 2009 (and again, it decreased for 7 years).
Many often come from across the United States and underestimate from the fact that it is not necessarily always easy to start a new life in a city (and that life is much more expensive). San Francisco is one of the few American cities where many people do not drive or there are many pedestrians in the streets, it has also become a mecca for the homeless, many of whom end up on sidewalks and has to beg solicits passersby.
One of the referenda that were on the ballot in November with the last midterm elections, was the principal Proposition L. The latter have revealed many people in the street if she was not even a draft proposal in France: it is prohibited from sitting or lying on a sidewalk San Franciscan between 7 am and 11 hours, and provides for fines administered by the police or the prison in case of recurrence.
Actively defended by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, the proposal went through L 54.3% 45.7% cons. All small businesses were also in favor because they think the degree of solicitation of San Franciscans took SDFS significant extent, created a lot of hostility and even threatened tourism.
The exception list printed on the official documentation of Proposition L provides all the same that you can be sitting or lying on sidewalks in San Francisco if you're a child in a stroller! Other exceptions: medical emergencies, people in wheelchairs, expressions of opinion, traders who are within the law (ie they have a license to sell something on the sidewalk), public benches (which are not so many San Francisco), or customers who would line up to some thing.
