This is the street I live on. As you can see, someone has pitched a tent. The inhabitant lives here as much as we housed do. The city just poured new sidewalks; the tent was moved down the block. Once the concrete was dry, it was moved back. It sits in front of neglected property owned by the school district.
A tent is a municipal failure, but not in the way that's sold by the money class. They have no stake in reducing tent population; every tent is another plank in their "SF is broken, we should take it over" narrative. But there are people inside those tents, without a way to get housed, and the city might expend real effort to house them if their existence weren't a convenient political punching bag.
