That area they surveyed is the most dangerous area in San Francisco and one of the most dangerous/poor places in California, The Tenderloin

Aka the most biased place to do a survery of the entire San Francisco area.
Also I accidently ubered to the tenderloin while I was on vacation at 1AM and almost died via a homeless army chasing me for cash.
Giving people below you a cent you're not forced to by law (and however much you can exploit and abuse said law) is a bad business decision if it's not tax deductible.
With all due respect sir, merely by calling me out you are proving my point. Not only that the name calling is totally unnecessary.
I wish you a good day and take care. Cheers SKS.
What exactly do you think you're doing by rating everyone snowflake

And whoamst point is that, exactly (good sir)
I definitely get the impression PJW genuinely cares about the poor and homeless when he makes compilations of them doing humiliating things with an ironic song placed over it.
my only dream in life is to one day be as smart as u
one time while walking around I was near one of the bart stations in SF and saw this person in a powerchair with a rainbow flag having on it also a male female symbol pass on by. That's fine, but the person drove pass a few down on their luck African Americans and said, "fucking n***ers". With little hesitation right when the person's drove by into the cross walk, an african american lady spit into the back of the person's hair.
There might be bad apple, but there are some nice things in san fran, so I wouldn't call it a shit hole.
Now Berkeley, fuck Berkeley (kidding)
Come to think of it it's actually kind of disgusting since he's essentially making fun of the mentally ill. I also feel like this guy simply doesn't recognize what drugs can do to the brain (it can get hijacked).
i've never seen a post that is just this much distilled Reddit, even on Reddit
congrats you out-reddited reddit
I can't believe I was just tricked into putting this fucking mouthdribbling retard in my watch history. Because of you, I will now be bombarded with alt-right videos by youtube as it tries desperately to get me to consume more content because it has been mislead to believe I am a budding white supremacist.
the latter is untrue, southern states generally have below average homeless population, both numerically and as a proportion of the population. here is a map about homeless families

here is a report put out by the HUD in December of 2017 which has more stats, the appendix at the end gives a per-100,000 people, but there's a lot of interesting stuff throughout

I mean i could attribute that to state population differences. Are there stats for homelessness as a percentage of state population?
the top map, as it says in the image, is per-10,000 families. you can check the appendix in the report at the bottom of my post, as well, which is per-10,000 people.
Because those states do not house the homeless at all. My state (GA) recently shut down a hand full of homeless shelters and praised themselves at lowering the homeless rate, when actuality, its the homeless being forced to leave to find some kind of shelter or majority of them not able to be counted. Atlanta was filled to the brim with homeless with the shelters and recently shut down a major shelter and was surprised when homeless people were moving into the airport to keep warm.
Isn't capitalism delicious?
As an SF Bay Area liberal I'll back that up. San Francisco is a disgusting, overpriced, overvalued wasteland.
We used to have a rampant junkie epidemic in the 80's-90's. The best way to solve it is actually by providing harm reduction and safe spaces. A step further is supplying housing and a small income. You might ask, how to pey voor dat? Easy, with all the money society saves on the reduction in crime and nuisance.
Junkie gets $15 (if not less) for a stolen car radio, but replacing one means new window ($200) plus the radio itself ($50). Better to just give the junkie $20.
I recently spent over a week in San Francisco, living in a poorer neighbourhood outside the city, and I found it to be a lovely place. There was certainly poverty to be seen, many homeless people gathering recyclables to sell, but only marginally more than the other cities I visited. People made it out to be a homeless encampment covered hellhole but that just wasn't the case while I was there.
an interesting explanation for it, though i don't think it can account for the statistics being as they are entirely. i do think there is something to be said about how the size of a city might affect the homeless population, and the scale of southern cities as compared to, say, New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco, as well as housing prices within these cities. it is far easier to become homeless in a place where housing prices are insane as compared to one where they're far more sensible (at the cost of absolutely nothing going on for said city).
