what he said about the homeless living in san francisco:

Just got back to SF. I've traveled around the world and I gotta say there is nothing more grotesque than walking down market st in San Francisco. Why the heart of our city has to be overrun by crazy, homeless, drug dealers, dropouts, and trash I have no clue. Each time I pass it my love affair with SF dies a little.

The difference is in other cosmopolitan cities, the lower part of society keep to themselves. They sell small trinkets, beg coyly, stay quiet, and generally stay out of your way. They realize it's a privilege to be in the civilized part of town and view themselves as guests. And that's okay.

In downtown SF the degenerates gather like hyenas, spit, urinate, taunt you, sell drugs, get rowdy, they act like they own the center of the city. Like it's their place of leisure... In actuality it's the business district for one of the wealthiest cities in the USA. It a disgrace. I don't even feel safe walking down the sidewalk without planning out my walking path.

You can preach compassion, equality, and be the biggest lover in the world, but there is an area of town for degenerates and an area of town for the working class. There is nothing positive gained from having them so close to us. It's a burden and a liability having them so close to us. Believe me, if they added the smallest iota of value I'd consider thinking different, but the crazy toothless lady who kicks everyone that gets too close to her cardboard box hasn't made anyone's life better in a while.

shockingly, after making an apology on his facebook, many of his friends actually said he shouldn't apologize.

a lot of them agreed with his condemnation of the poor. i thought techies were supposed to be liberal and progressive?

I was walkin to the westfield mall in downtown frisco and this homeless junkie girl seen us, started taking a shyt in the middle of the alley and then started twerking

I mean where does he expect them all to go? Maybe if he visited the other parts of Frisco he would understand downtown is one of the nicer areas and not as run down I mean places like downtown and that whole area is majority of the reason people think san francisco has 0 crime (when in reality its the opposite once you start travelling outside the safe spots of frisco )

theres already many run down areas of frisco.. does he just want to throw them all there ? cause those places are already over ran with them too the only place in america I heard has similar homelessness problem as frisco is Seattle

This guy seems incredibly opinionated and extremely reclusive...would never want to bring him along to a concert/show.


Either way, OP's a sociopath .
