I think your missing a very important piece of the puzzle here. Our leaders like folks to live like they do at the BART plaza. Our so called "activists" want folks to stay in poverty and not move on to anything better. Our system allows for no accountability, no follow up, and NO tough love at all. For the Politicians here in the city it is political suicide to ask that something be done about people living in poverty. If you even ask that the area be kept clean you are labeled "ANTI-HOMELESS." Making a change there for the folks that are having to live in misery there and for the local residents takes guts and committment. This is something that our so called leaders have none of. Good luck but I would not anticipate that anything will change there any time soon.

Its chamging already. All around us big beautiful condos are changing the landscape and the culture of the mission. It was an issue community then black then latino. Now its going back to those with jobs who dont live outside or shoot up. Finaly.
