#2,056 - S.F. DA Brooke Jenkins faces blowback after saying homeless people should be made ‘uncomfortable’

San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins is taking heat for recent controversial comments that homeless people “have to be made to be uncomfortable,” a reference to the idea that regularly sweeping encampments encourages unhoused people to accept offers of shelter. 

During a Dec. 4 public forum, dubbed “Take Action: San Francisco,” Jenkins was asked by KGO-TV reporter and former Chronicle columnist Phil Matier if anything “legal” could be done about thousands of unsheltered San Franciscans declining shelter and services. 

Jenkins initially replied that “the recourse is obviously outside the criminal justice system.” 

But when pressed by Matier again, the city’s top prosecutor continued, “They have to be made to be uncomfortable is the truth of the matter.”
