Photo: Alejandro Galicia Diaz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p2\">The homeless encampment at 19th and Shotwell streets isn\u2019t like any other in San Francisco. Colorful art depicting hearts, a peace sign and a Mayan temple have transformed the cold concrete sidewalk into a happy and walking canvas. But beneath the art is the dreadful reality for Javier Antonio Chab Dzul and his buddies: these streets are the only home they have.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Despite that sad reality, Chab Dzul, who is self-taught, finds an oasis of peace and serenity in his art in the midst of his living conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">It\u2019s not difficult to find Chab Dzul and his tent-neighbors.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Anyone can spot the art on the street and sidewalks, and once you have, you know they\u2019re nearby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI find my painting supplies on the streets,\u201d said Chab Dzul, who has been homeless for more than two years. \u201cI mix the different paints myself to create colors so I can paint and lose myself. That\u2019s the reason why I do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">As Chab Dzul kneels down on the sidewalk, he uses his finger to stir white paint in a plastic soda bottle that\u2019s been cut in half. He\u2019s prepping for his next piece of art. The sun is setting, the wind is getting stronger and the afternoon is getting colder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI was addicted to cocaine,\u201d Chab Dzul said as he set down the cup of paint and lit a marijuana joint. \u201cI then became addicted to crack and I was on it for about two years. And today, I can use everything all at once. But nowadays, I use marijuana and crystal methamphetamine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Pelon, (bald one) what Chab Dzul is called by his street family, wasn\u2019t always homeless. He once worked in restaurant kitchens around the city and even lived comfortably in his apartment in the Tenderloin. However, he lost it all after becoming addicted to drugs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">As he stands quietly outside of his discolored gray layered tent, the rest of his neighbors begin making their way home from a busy day\u2019s worth of hustling.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32494\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32494\" style=\"width: 395px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-16-at-11.40.58-AM.png?quality=80&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32494 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Screen-Shot-2016-12-16-at-11.40.58-AM.png?resize=395%2C527&#038;quality=80&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Javier Antonio Chab Dzul, 41, cleans out an altar he made in honor of his friend, Luis Demetrio Gongora Pat, who was fatally shot by SFPD officers on April 7, 2016.

Some pedestrians stare at them in disgust and cross the street to avoid walking near them as they pass the pipe. But others stop to offer food, which they happily accept.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Each of them excitedly show off clothes that have been found or bought that day, exchanging and trading items among themselves. One man shows off his sneakers to his girlfriend, who cheers him on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">As they finish the pipe, a man called \u201cItaliano\u201d says from inside his tent in a serious tone: \u201cThis street life isn\u2019t a game, man,\u201d as he injects a bloodied syringe full of crack into his bloodstream.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI\u2019ve seen men who are straight and who are manly who were capable of giving up their ass for sex in exchange for drugs,\u201d Chab Dzul says. \u201cI\u2019ve had my share of experiences. But I\u2019ve always been straight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Drugs have been an issue in the encampments. According to SF Homeless Project, from June to November, there were 311 complaints of needles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The number of people living on the street in San Francisco continues to rise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The San Francisco Coalition on Homelessness estimates that there could be around 12,000 homeless people, while the Department of Public Health estimates around 10,000.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32492\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32492\" style=\"width: 383px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Homelessness_02web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-32492\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Homelessness_02web.jpg?resize=383%2C287&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Photo: Alejandro Galicia Diaz \" width=\"383\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Homelessness_02web.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Homelessness_02web.jpg?resize=333%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 333w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Homelessness_02web.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Homelessness_02web.jpg?w=864&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 864w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 383px) 100vw, 383px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32492\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Alejandro Galicia Diaz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">Ruso is a young Latino man with a light complexion. Like many in the Bay Area, he is a Golden State Warriors fan. He wears his black and golden, Golden State Warriors sweat pants and a hoodie to keep him warm on the cold December evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The youngest member of the encampment, he walks around uneasily, but keeps busy fixing his bicycle chain and those of the others, who own bicycles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cIt\u2019s because of this art [Chab Dzul\u2019s street paintings] that we were found and kicked out of where we were last,\u201d Ruso says, in a frustrated and annoyed voice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Tempers have flared among the residents of the encampments following last month\u2019s passage of Proposition Q, which bans tents on city sidewalks and authorizes law enforcement to remove people 24 hours after offering shelter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cThings are a bit tense here,\u201d says Chab Dzul.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cThe police gave me a ticket the other day.

You or me?\u2019 So I just left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">As the night sets, and the temperature hits a low 42 degrees that night, everyone goes inside their tents, to prepare for the next day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The next week, the encampment was gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The homeless encampment at 19th and Shotwell streets isn\u2019t like any other in San Francisco.
