Avoiding the Homeless (Sacramento, Victorville, Bell: low income, foreclosures, get credit)

I have lived in many urban areas without the homeless problems SF has. SF has too many of them for my taste.

"Homelessness has been a chronic and controversial problem for San Francisco since the early 1980s. The city is believed to have the highest number of homeless inhabitants per capita of any major U.S. city.[115][116]"

There are plenty of homeless in Walnut Creek, too. They rummage through the garbage at McDonalds.

Homeless are def annoying in SF....probs of any socialist suburb w/near-ideal weather....rest of SF region has this same issue in any of the suburban downtowns like PA....and problems of EastBay bridge&tunnel life incl far worse traffic and need to drive through the high-crime Oakland corridor to enter SF....(conversely, the commute btwn PA/SV and SF on 280 has to be one of easiest/fastest on planet)

Only relevant place in CA w/o a signif homeless issue is BevHills....as it's a more capitalist town...

NYC does a better job "controlling" homelessness, to avoid bothering those rather generous taxpayers who live/work in Midtown/UppESide/CPW (and could just as easily live/work in Greenwich instead), but 99% of people in NYC commute daily via subhuman, unsafe means, i.e., those gruesome subways/cabs....

At least in SF/LA, one can easily commute via safety/convenience/hygiene of own new, climate-controlled car.....and, unlike NYC, most offices in SF/LA have undgd pkg garages and most restaurants have valet pkg, so can easily avoid most homeless and nastiness of subways/cabs....

I don't think this is true if you work in SF. Parking in FiDi is expensive as hell.

Also what's up with your abbreviations? Is it that hard to type out a few extra letters? It would make your posts way more readable if you did so.

You seem very selfish and cruel. What does it hurt you to give a few bucks a day to the down and out? I hope the Lord enlightens you some day. Love Ripley

What is it with you and calling SF a suburb? It's not a suburb.

Well said. Thank you. I've seen everything you mentioned done right out in the open.

They can also be a health hazard. I was visiting SF and waiting for a bus, and along came two inebriated street men, one whose head was so full of lice that I and the other two people waiting got up and left in a flash. Since then I find myself trying to stand a few feet away from them.

If you hate the homeless so much? Why don't you take one home to live with you. Presto/chango not homeless anymore. Besides Missy you are probaly only 4 missed paychecks from the gutter yourself. Ripley
