Episode 2257: @KevinChron on a San Francisco story of homelessness that will break your heart, by @ajkeen https://t.co/agSwDPlKro
Award-winning reporter Kevin Fagan is one of San Francisco’s great treasures. In his much acclaimed new book, The Lost and Found, Fagan tells his his two-decade experience reporting about homelessness in San Francisco. He shares the stories of Tyson and Rita, two homeless individuals who he helped reconnect with their families. Tyson, despite having a supportive family, died of a fentanyl overdose, while Rita was rescued by her family and lived 20 more fulfilling years. Fagan, who experienced housing insecurity as a teenager, explains that homelessness stems from systemic poverty issues rather than personal failings. He notes that despite San Francisco's reputation as America’s “homeless central”, 70% of its homeless population lost their homes while already living there.
In Kevin Fagan’s new book about the homelessness crisis in San Francisco, he highlights “the incongruity of a city that has such phenomenal wealth and still lets thousands of its residents sleep on the streets,” @jaycaspiankang writes. https://t.co/Bq3rnJJY1p
