Several hundred tech workers, homeless-service providers, politicians and other San Franciscans gathered Wednesday night with a goal of identifying solutions to one of the city’s most vexing problems: homelessness. The town hall was organized by Greg Gopman, the former CEO of tech company AngelHack who made headlines in December 2013 for a Facebook post deriding homeless people as “degenerates,” likening them to hyenas and saying they shouldn’t be in Mid-Market, where business people work. After being blasted online and in the media, Gopman studied the city’s homelessness problem for a year and organized the town hall meeting to share ideas for solving it. Gopman mostly stayed out of sight Wednesday in the balcony of the Nourse Auditorium, which he rented, while professionals in the homeless-services field took the stage.

"High profile projects can be extremely political and can really be dragged down by too many cooks in the kitchen. In a post-Cambridge Analytica world there are huge slowdowns in releasing new features or products ...," according to one of the employee reviews on Glassdoor. Facebook is facing the heat over its handling of user data, misinformation campaigns on the platform, as well as its plan for a global cryptocurrency called Libra.
