from How To Help | The Tim Dillon Show #350 · #350

Tim argues the city's homelessness problem isn't just about housing costs but also rampant normalized drug use and lax policing, and doubles down on his claim that tourist dollars gawking at the crisis genuinely help the city.
- Tim describes a visibly struggling person in San Francisco as one of the better-looking people in the city right now.
- San Francisco has let cities descend into chaos by normalizing drug use instead of forcing treatment or arrest.
- The homeless problem is not just about housing costs—it's about rampant drug use being tolerated everywhere in the city.
- Tim argues that gawking at destroyed lives in San Francisco as a tourist is actually the most humane response available.
- Making San Francisco a tourism destination for people seeking to observe the chaos is the right thing to do because it brings tax revenue.
- Tourism infuses the city with capital, which is what San Francisco actually needs right now.
