Most shelters do in fact allow people to bring their belongings with them (within reason). Some even provide storage space, and the city provides a free self-storage facility.
Prop F addresses CAAP (cash welfare), not housing. You don’t have to be receiving CAAP to qualify for housing assistance, and you don’t have to be homeless to qualify for CAAP.
SF has been struggling with a chronic homelessness problem for decades. Offering voluntary services does not work. To put in in Trek terms, the problem isn’t the gimmes, it’s the ghosts and dims. Gimmes are easy to help because they can act on their own behalf and in their own best interests. They accept services and don’t end up being chronically homeless. The ghosts and the dims, on the other hand, are a different story.
Is sweeping their encampments an ideal solution? No, far from it. But what else is there for us to do? Let them languish on the streets? Honestly, what would you have us do?
Certification of homeless status from the city (already acquired if they were referred to us) and proof of income (if any).

My headcanon is that Dr. Zimmerman received the Moriarty program from Barclay, and discovered from it how to make sentient holograms, which is why holograms started getting sentient more regularly and by design.

Point of order: the Constitution doesn’t set the number of justices, it gives that power to Congress.
That doesn’t seem like a reasonable or well thought-out idea.
What do you suppose the president has the power to do in this case?
The chronically homeless, the ones that are hardest to get off the street, are difficult to house for reasons besides availability or cost, though.
Welfare and Institutions Code 8255.
But it’s beside the point if the problem is with getting them to accept services in the first place.
