Are they just telling them to leave or are they giving them an alternate location? It shouldn't be that hard for the city to find a place for them to set up. And then the city can put portapotties and dumpsters nearby. I realize that may not stop the ones who are mentally ill may not use it but it would be something.

that would be very anti-capitalist though wouldn't it? if theres only 6000 homeless people, and the city of sanfrancisco alone has over 30,000 vacant houses, then the problem isn't a lack of shelter is it?
 
Supposedly, the authorities are ripping down their tents when they are unoccupied and disposing of their possessions inside as motivation for them to move. They don't want them in the city anymore.
