Good afternoon!
Since 2005, SF’s Homeward Bound program has bused 11,000 homeless people out of town to be reunited with family members who vouch for them. Now, under Mayor Breed’s “Journey Home” order, homeless people are just sent away, without checking if there’s anyone on the other end. Joe Eskenazi explains why that’s a political as well as humanitarian problem for the city.
SFPD officer Josh McFall slammed a Black woman into a wall after stopping her for jaywalking in the Richmond, giving her a concussion and a separated shoulder. We have video.
