Footage of unsheltered people camped out around a “family-friendly” San Francisco holiday market underscored the city’s homelessness epidemic.

on Thursday, a person is seen sleeping on the street under a blanket with syringes scattered nearby just outside the Winter Wanderland market in Union Square’s Hallidie Plaza.

Two other apparently unsheltered people are seen on the outskirts of the open air market next to their possessions as two people dressed as a snowman and reindeer danced in the nearly empty plaza. The footage was shared by a user who goes by “Old Fashioned SF Parent,” that shares content to “raise awareness about collateral damage due to open-air drug scene, anti-kids conditions” in the city.

“Misery, drug abuse, overdosing, drug dealing and mayor’s “Winter Wonderland” [sic] at Hallidie Plaza and Powell BART station at downtown San Francisco. Who is this charade for?,” the user wrote, tagging The Daily Mail,“I am a property owner just above that Powell BART station,” the unidentified mother of two told the outlet.

“[I’ve seen a] horrible decline since March 2020. It’s a nightmare, it’s all drugs,” she continued, telling the outlet she and her children planned to move to the nearby city of Alameda.

Voters keep picking the wrong officials…

caroroJ5 One of the best books to read that explains how and why: San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities by Michael Shellenberger

Its San Francisco, what else do you expect?

Every single time I have to fly to California I need to take a 3-hour shower when I return home. California is such a dirty State.

This is what they voted for

Homelessness is not a city issue; it is a national responsibility as many of the homeless were dumped in cities by families and suburban/rural communities. We need a national program to send the addicted and mentally ill to treatment facilities away from downtowns and dealers

She should stop voting for this. When you elect woke politicians you are electing this scenario.

Just what China and Russia love to see. Cities full of junkies. At least they know the fentanyl is getting to the right place.

Until SF gets over the 'housing first' mentality, this will continue unabated.

good. i am glad to hear this heavily democrat area is miserable. actions have consequences

I will never visit there again. Total disgrace at so many levels.

Free needle with your first purchase.

If you′re going to San Francisco Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair If you're going to San Francisco You′re gonna meet some gentle people there

This is that new, 'progressive' America they voted for.

Yup. Was there a few weeks ago, several homeless were yelling at... Something none of us could see? SF is lost, and we won't be going back. Which is a real shame, because it used to be an amazing and quirky town to spend the day in.

Sounds about right for San Francisco. The SanFranciscoPOA are to lazy and progressive to keep tax paying citizens safe.

Are people actually proud to be living in SF? What a disgusting dump of a city.

What is the problem? They voted for this?

Keep voting Democrat 😂🤡

San Fran has sure gone downhill since Republicans took over. Oh, wait...
