Plan for a homeless center in Pelosi's high end Embarcadero district leads to raucous public meeting; SF mayor jeered and shouted down by hundreds of residence who live in exclusive condos near the planned construction site. "Homelessness is the number one problem that we face in our city. You cannot be upset about homelessness and then when I propose a real solution, then you’re upset about it," Breed said while trying to discuss plans to build a 200-bed Homeless Navigation Center in the city's Embarcadero section.

The area is part of California's 12th Congressional District, represented by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who expressed concerns it would only draw in more homeless into the area and devalue expensive properties causing loss of collected taxes.

City officials described the planned facility and addressed security and noise concerns. The site is owned by the Port of San Francisco and is currently a parking lot surrounded by high-rise luxury condominiums. The center would occupy 44,000-square feet. A lease is planned for four years.

The exchange was representative of the opposition from the waterfront residents who fear the 24-hour shelter will negatively impact the area and their quality of life, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

“They all have mental health issues and drug and alcohol abuse, I support the homeless center but it can be built somewhere else.” said resident Shadan Golkar

I know that area from looking for a place to jog.

My bet would be that the "Not in My Neighborhood" vote will win.
