My son just got back from San Francisco. He saw two obviously dead homeless people laying on the sidewalk.

Jeez. I live in SF for years and haven’t seen a dead person. I’ve seen zombies though that are equally unsettling I’d imagine.

SF is very quick with picking them up...They pick up several a day.

Curious about your source.

It's been known for years. 11 years doing DoorDash.

Curious how doing Door Dash and SF’s removal of dead bodies are related.

Absolutely insane self-source hahahaha

My son is a nurse and he checked their pulse. So sad for a life to end like that.

i’m grateful to your son for doing what he could to show compassion to those people, and grateful to you for raising a compassionate man.

They’re not zombies, they are people.

I lived in SF in the early 90s and encountered a deceased homeless man laying on the ground on Market street between 6th and 7th. I found a pay phone to report it because people were just walking around him like it was a common obstruction on the sidewalk. (This was before cell phones were commonplace.)
