Dave Chappelle has not been one to hold back during his stand-up shows, and though he may receive backlash, he continues to do express his feelings on a myriad of controversial topics through his comedy.
In an impromptu show in San Francisco, the comedian called out the city’s struggles, specifically regarding homelessness in the city.
“What the f— happened to this place,” Chappelle said.
During the show, Chappelle described San Francisco as his second home, and how he used to play hundreds of shows there earlier in his career “using the city like a godd— ATM” when he needed a paycheck.
He told a story about the city’s homelessness problems during his set, saying that he ate at an Indian restaurant a few nights before the show, and he saw someone defecate in front of the restaurant while he was walking in.
According to McKinsey & Company, it is estimated that 38,000 people are living on the streets in San Francisco, which is a 35 percent increase since 2019.
Chappelle said that San Francisco has now become “half Glee, half zombie movie,” and that “y’all n—– need a Batman.”
Dave is the realest breathing! The funniest breathing as well. If he says something he is truthful. I’m 64 years old and I’m gonna see him live before my permanent rest. Come on California! Fix your shit!
Do you live in California, specifically San Francisco? Have you ever been homeless or so down and out you had to depend on other people or the government to help you? If none of these things, then stfu! If homelessness was so easy to fix, then it would be gone. But there are clueless, ignorant asses like you that think I’m this current America that you know something because you saw it on Fox News. As for Dave Chapelle, he used to be funny. He’s just a shrill recycle of his old self, “singing and dancing” for lowest common denominator America. It’s a real f’ing shame!
Kimberly. He’s right to focus on the problem. Millions follow him and are called to action sometimes. Being homeless is not isolated, especially in our population of Women and Men Veterans. Thanks for your opinion.
It actually is. The problem is that higher ups don’t wanna lift a finger to make those changes. Reform the shelters & rehab facilities so those people feel more safe. Move drugs out of those spots instead of handing out clean drug related items.
Until people who care for the citizens get in those major positions,things won’t change.

Homelessness is easy to fix. Tax the 1%. Tax the tech-bros. SF has a homelessness problem because it gave the tech industry a tax-free ride. Make the tech industry pay. Use that money to build nice houses for people who need them. Pay everyone enough money to buy one, pay them whether they’re working or not. Employed or not, everyone needs housing.
You are a tool … liberal policies got Sam Fran the way it is… as hundreds of businesses leave it’s only going to get WORSE .. but look on the bright side …. You can always blam trump 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and ps Dave is the best comedian out here today 🤡
Drugs fry brains…always have/always will. The “homeless” problem in SF is a non-existent drug rehab or drug reinforcement problem. The city government has decades of incompetence behind it. I worked in SF for almost 30 years, but don’t recognize the sewer it has become.
I’ve lived here all my life. Not all houseless are drug users or mentally unstable. That said I’ll ask you to consider if you were living on the nasty, filthy sidewalks how long would it take to break you? I cannot even imagine the amount of stress being without food, shelter (including lavatory), etc.
Housing costs are so high that a person can actually work a full time job and not afford a place to stay. San Fran does not have a homeless problem: San Fran has a housing problem.
When hotels evict homeless vets from hotel rooms to house illegals because the government pays more for illegals, this is what happens. The government has no compassion for its own people.
