Homeless population. So we are now about seven weeks into the shelter in place order. I know, you know, that, like so many other san franciscans that are blessed to be housed, we are getting antsy. I know this weekend, the parks were filled and people had no masks and were trying to inform them that were not out of this yet, and that in order to keep the curve flat, it isnt a done deal; that we have to continue to shelter in place in order to do that.
