- THere'S homeless people in Canada... 6 months of winter. SF is hot in comparisonBennn
- The weather is fresh, no bugs, never freezes, people are trained to accept and look away. Then there are the drugs...robotron3k
- But even back in 2000, the homeless was out of control there, but they don't bother people too much and they seem like to exist and live for the momentrobotron3k

- For the people who used to live normally in SF, it's hard to leave the only area you really know, plus some family that might help sometimes, friends, resourcesshellie
