Clean up the Streets Act

The Clean Up the Streets Act, also known as Measure K, was a ruthless civic policy enacted by the Parliament of New San Francisco to forcibly eliminate shantytowns and outlaw homelessness. The measure violently displaced thousands of impoverished topsiders, driving them into the perilous Under or pushing them directly into the deadly clutches of Civil Service.
