Whoever chose the music did a fantastic job!

The quality of the poop shots was the funniest thing I've seen all day. Subscribed. Great work.

One of the best documentaries I’ve seen in a long time. Y’all kept it unique, creative, and above all, real.

Superb documentary. The soundtrack brings back a ton of memories, from a time when life was better - but we didn't know it back then. The interviews are hard hitting and very gritty, and the honesty from those spoken with lifts the lid on the reasons behind the sh!t.

I've been in SF since 2001. It's a screwed up city all around. This tent thing sprung up almost overnight when the pandemic started. The elephant in the room that no one really wants to talk about is lack of affordable housing and skyrocketing rents as principal factors in driving homelessness. Drug use doesn't cause homelessness. Homelessness causes drug use. People are living essentially without hope. The hopelessness is palpable and hopelessness leads to drug addiction, not the other way around. The people on the lowest rungs of society's ladder use drugs to medicate, to anesthetize themselves from the misery, ugliness, misfortune and injustice that they are surrounded by every day and, the Gavin Newsoms of the world have ensured that there will never be any escape. These people realize this.

Fentanyl isn't even good. No euphoria, doesn't last long, and terrible withdrawals.

Wow, thought I was watching a older Vice documentary for a second. This is really well done!

Politicians and corporations love the homeless. They serve as a constant reminder to all the peasants what will happen to them if they take a break from wageslaving.

As a grateful recovering addict going on 4 years clean and I sober, I want to thank you for taking the time to show the truth of what’s happening in our cities! The chaos, the rawness, the pure insanity of this disease. Also, major kudos for the awesome song selection! You got good taste and are an old soul like myself ✊🏻

I grew up with bruh in the red St. Louis hat, one of my best friends going back to high school. Its sad to see wtf happened to SF. But its soothing to see my homie is still standing. Aint seen him in some years. My nigga, if you see this comment its me Stevie. Tap in bruh, answer your God damn phone, I miss you bruh. Stay safe!

This is the best video on San Francisco's homeless issue that I have ever seen! Amazing! Great interviews, footage, and music! I wish you guys every success! I love San Francisco and hope things can (and will) turn around!

Last time I was in San Francisco was in 2001. Place was awesome. It’s amazing how much of a giant garbage can California has turned into.

I once spent a season with the homeless in Berkeley California. The number of people employed in “service to the homeless” is astounding! When you think about how much they pay in salaries, before any benefit is achieved is enormous. Supposed charities paying salaries over $100,000 annually. Ridiculous!

I lived in SF from 1997-1998, and the city was full of life and excitement. I haven't been back since, but looking at these posts and the news, SF has gone down rapidly.

This was funny, informative and very well put together. This deserves an award of some kind. Great work!

This documentary is remarkably one of the best films. When one person is rejected by society and or for another; it affects their mental well being.

I've been between South Sacramento and San Francisco my whole life. The accuracy of this video is on point. I've also lived in Stockton and San Diego near the border. A lot of major cities in California are like this.

"I don't want to call myself an artist because if I say it, it takes from what a box is." I'm going to put that on my tombstone.

The bearded man at the end of the video is not homeless. He has lived in the Baker Hotel on Pine street for about 15 years and has begged all that time on Polk street.
