SF homelessness is much worse in 2021 than late 2019. Major shopping streets are 1/3 boarded up and covered in tents that block 80-100% of the sidewalk.
The sidewalks are also heavily blocked by homeless people selling all the stuff they shoplifted on spread out on blankets. Just random CVS type stuff in its packaging.
It was really a sad sight. My girlfriend had never been there and I was looking forward to showing her around, and we repeatedly had to walk down the street to because the sidewalks were completely blocked.
All of this was normal in the Tenderloin area before, but now it has spread all over the city.
