phil: the definition of homeless, we are not just dealing with the homeless problem. years ago when we adopted that term, we are using it as an umbrella that covers everyone mentally ill to the drug addicted. that's what we are seeing on the streets. not people necessarily that are homeless, they may have a shelter but they are out on the shelter -- out on the streets during the day and night, increasingly erratic hader brought on by drugs. in the castro, they were talking about putting it -- putting up cameras to keep an eye on the problem. they said windows are getting smashed. these people are just out of their minds and they are smashing the windows just to smash the windows. that is erratic behavior. when you just call it homeless, everyone says the solution is to build more housing.

that's part of the solution, but the real problem is mental and drug abuse. larry: if this is allowed to spread throughout the entire city, san francisco has a large problem. phil: it's not limited to san francisco, if it spreads around the bay area. it already has. without taking into account the drug aspect of this, what you're having is a constant definition of let's get people housing, but the people that don't want to go into the housing because they are drug addicts or are mentally ill or going to stay where they are. that is the second part of the problem that we are only now starting to address seriously. >> so you think the drug should be prioritized and then the homeless part might take care of itself? phil: if you dealt with the drugs, then you might get them to the point where they would want to go into the housing and start on the road to recovery.

as long as they are using fit noel are meth which sends you into the stratosphere, you're not going to go in that direction. >> in the state of california, people are just not going to go for, sorry, you're coming with me and that's the end of it. phil: they call it consequences, there need to be consequences. they don't want to say enforcement, you're coming with me and going to the shelter. in los angeles, the number one issue, how to deal with this. the same debate. governor newsom recently said, we've got to change the focus, it's got to be more about the drugs in conjunction with homelessness. so there is a change going on in the discussion. >> san diego, salt lake city have done it better. new york, boston, it could go on.
