The city found 2,912 individuals living on the streets, a 13% decrease from the year before, suggesting the city\u2019s efforts to move individuals inside is yielding results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are working every day to move people off our streets and into shelter, housing, and care,\u201d said Mayor London Breed in a statement. \u201cThis is safer and healthier for people on our streets, and it is better for all of us that want a cleaner and safer San Francisco.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In March, San Francisco voters passed a measure to require <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-year-of-living-fearfully\/\" title=\"The Year of Living Fearfully\">substance abuse<\/a> screening and treatment to receive cash welfare and allow officers to pursue suspects of felonies and violent misdemeanors, including retail theft. These measures, along with proposed economic reforms such as proposing to removing San Francisco from California Coastal Commision oversight to increase housing production, and cutting the \u201cOverpaid Executive Tax\u201d by 80%, seem to be making a difference; new U.S. Census Bureau data says San Francisco has ended its years-long population decline in 2023, slightly growing after falling from 874,000 in 2020 to 808,000 in 2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Challenges for the city still remain,as homeless individuals refuse six out of ten offers of shelter.
