“In downtown SF the degenerates gather like hyenas, spit, urinate, taunt you, sell drugs, get rowdy, they act like they own the center of the city. Like it’s their place of leisure… In actuality it’s the business district for one of the wealthiest cities in the USA. It a disgrace.

AngelHack CEO Greg Gopman recently took to Facebook to berate the homeless population in San Francisco, Calif., saying that the city has been overrun by “crazy, homeless, drug dealers, and trash…”

I trivialized the plight of those struggling to get by and I shouldn’t have. I hope this thread can help start an open discussion on what changes we can make to fix these serious problems.

Gopman has already deleted the original post, but Sam Biddle of Valleywag ripped the full post before Gopman took it down.
