Some feel the publicized demands of Castro business owners go against the spirit of the neighborhood.

“Whatever they're doing isn't working. It isn't leading to a noticeable difference in the conditions in the Castro as it relates to the drug addicted and the mentally ill,” said Karraker, who also co-owns MX3 Fitness, a gym with two locations in the area. He mentioned that the letter’s request for 35 shelter beds comes from a record kept by District 8 Supervisor Rafael Mandelman’s office about “people who are constantly causing issues” in the neighborhood: “That list is typically between 20 and 25 people. So we knew if we got 35 beds, we’d be able to cover those people,” Karraker said.

Not at all. We are all sick of the behavior and it needs to change. The city does nothing.

So, it is okay for the gay and 'trans' homeless to take over the Castro sidewalks because they feel safe there? Craziness.

They should just close their businesses and relocate to a more business friendly city or even state. This city does not deserve the hard work and value that these businesses offer.

They say they will stop paying taxes. Lol. Good luck with that! Not how it works.
