I agree with you completely about California....I don’t see anything remotely approaching CA levels in FL however....curious where you’ve been in FL. I might see 1 a day in Miami (Brickell), whereas I passed/encountered a couple dozen on a daily basis when I lived in downtown San Diego and SF is worse than that.

Anyone who denies it is 100% dilusional and lying. Love or hate California, the homeless problem here is absolutely off the charts insane and awful unlike anywhere else. I see it firsthand, everyday.
The state soon might as well be renamed 'Needles'.

On paper, NYC technically has the most homeless people, with LA a very close second.
In reality, the homelessness problem feels most acute in SF and LA.
West Coast cities like San Fran, Los Angeles and Portland for sure. San Francisco looked 3rd world in some of the parts we took an Uber through. Gross.

NYC definitely does a better job of making it seem less prevalent if the numbers are really higher than in Cali. It doesn't feel nearly as bad, not even in Manhattan.

95% of the homeless in NYC live in shelters while less than 20% of homeless in LA do. They have done a much better job of building shelters than we have. In fact California cities are all among the worst in that regard.

Yeah, the homeless out here look very comfortable enjoying the SoCal beach weather for free. lol
"Minneapolis/St Paul, the coldest metro of the 25 largest, has a rate of 15/10k. Meanwhile, the much warmer metros of Phoenix, Atlanta, San Antonio, Miami, Charlotte, Riverside, Orlando and Houston all have lower rates of 14/14/13/13/12/7 in that order."
Um, you are comparing apples to oranges. Minneapolis having more homeless people than Houston doesn't somehow mean being homeless in Minneapolis is not difficult.
