The number of people sleeping outdoors dropped to under 3,000 in January, the lowest the city has recorded in a decade, according to a federal count.
And that figure has likely dropped even lower since Mayor London Breed — a Democrat in a difficult reelection fight this November — started ramping up enforcement of anti-camping laws in August following a U.S. Supreme Court decision.
Homelessness in no way has gone away, and in fact grew 7%, to 8,300 in January, according to the same federal count.
But the problem is now notably out of the public eye, raising the question of where people have gone and whether the change marks a turning point in a crisis long associated with San Francisco.
What a bullshit manipulative headline, burying the lead trying to spin this like it's positive? A turning point towards what, more cruelty? Because obviously they're not helping the homeless people, just moving them out of sight out of mind.
At least OP did a good job pasting relevant parts from the body of the article, but how many people won't even read that?
