They are there, because not even the most desperate homeless person, can stand to live in a red state. They're searching for just a little bit of human kindness and know they won't find it, where right-wingers rule.
WRONG. In Oklahoma City, homeless people like to hold signs begging for money at the overpasses or even sleep under them, such as at I-44 and N. Penn.
They are mentality ill and have nowhere to go. We don't really have many psychiatric facilities anymore so they live on the streets.
Also, where are they all supposed to go, if in need of a restroom? There are likely few options if at all, for anything. It makes me feel terrible for them and feel compassion for those who are left to live in such a way.
This has been COMMON in SF for decades. I was at a week long seminar in downtown at a convention center adjacent to city hall back in the early 90s. Bums had taken over the park in front of city hall, they used the entire area as toilet. Unfortunately the subway stop was right there. Walking around, we had passed out drunks/druggies, several naked, on nearly every street corner. Most disgusting city I've been in. Amazing that liberalism has turned one of the most expensive cities in the country into that!
It’s not liberalism, it’s the mild weather which allows for people to live out on the street and not seek shelter. Get a clue. We don’t have a law that forces people into rehab and getting the help they need. Maybe we should.

^^^^^ and IF the guy you were replying to in that post truly believes that, then he is quite naive and either isn't very well traveled, or lacks decent observation skills while traveling.

"When it comes to giving to charity, Republicans in the United States on the whole are more generous than just about any other people on the planet.
Republican states are more generous than Democratic states by a wide margin. In GOP states like Utah and Mississippi, families donate more than seven percent of their income to charity. In liberal New England states like Massachusetts, the number is less than half that."
Even the liberal NYT had to admit republicans are more generous.

Absolutely NOT TRUE AT ALL.
The city of San Francisco DOES NOT look the other way and deny that it has a homeless issue.
The city's soup kitchens serve thousands of people per day.
...
The frustrating part is that the more such services are provided, the more homeless people show up, desperate for anything to keep body and soul together.
Many of them are from conservative areas with few services.
