The press conference from Gavin Newsom is also pretty incredible to watch, based on these snippets:

Why are locals defending this? Don't you feel you have a right to a clean and safe city and community to live in, all the time, instead of just when fancy people turn up? Especially given your tax and cost-of-living burdens?
Is this just an information problem? If SF destitution defenders actually had lived experiences in other global, world-class cities, which are clean, safe, and good to live in, they wouldn't be so forgiving of this? Or is it cognitive dissonance and just circular, SF is the best so SF is the best?
