Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. On this episode we talk with Christin Evans, a San Francisco business owner and homeless activist. She recently reported on a homeless sweep in San Francisco for the SF Standard. Her piece humanized the victims of these cruel sweeps while also showing how the sweeps hurt more than help.
