Patterns which would be observable if you had lived in both places but would take more time to try to explain than I care to invest.
However you can just look at the current state of LA and know that much of the county used to be a lot like the triangle is today.
what a cop out answer lmaooooo. You can't start a thread and then leave us hanging like that without knowing what you're even talking about (also haven't lived in LA)
I realize that your climate is not as dry as ours in N. California. Good for you. One of the worst result of homeless camps in our part of the country is the frequent fires, in the range of 1-3 per day. As per our local media, 83 % of wildfires in California are started by humans, and more than half of that are started by the homeless. You can feel sympathy for with them or not, the danger is extreme.
By the way, we are among the lucky survivors of the Paradise megafire of November 2018, but that one was started when heavy winds broke a 100-year-old PG&E steel clamp on a high-voltage transmission line. 85 people died, we were fortunate to get away. Sitting in gridlock and watch the fires get closer on both sides of the road can make you paranoid for years.
Huge wildfires like the Dixie fire here in 2021 are part of the climate change. It was another gift from PG&E Electric company, among other gifts like the $ 0.36 per KWH we paid last month, $ 399 gas and electric combined, small 2-bedroom house.
From Wikipedia:
The Dixie Fire was an enormous wildfire in Butte, Plumas, Lassen, Shasta, and Tehama Counties, California.[5] It was named after Dixie Road, near where the fire started in Butte County.[6] The fire began in the Feather River Canyon near Cresta Dam on July 13, 2021, and burned 963,309 acres (389,837 ha) before being 100% contained on October 25, 2021.[7]
I do hope no such tragedy ever comes near your state of N. Carolina. With us it is a daily routine constantly checking our phones and laptops for "where is the nearest fire today and which way is it heading?"
The Triangle should decide whether it wants good New York pizza or good Chicago pizza - that's my "suggestion" of the day
I would have always voted NY style pizza.....until I got a coupon for Nancy's in North Raleigh and.....now I am glad we can have both coexist peacefully. I can drive less than 10 minutes in one direction and get delicious Chicago pizza at Nancy's....less than 10 minutes in the other direction to get delicious NY pizza at Slice of NY in Brier Creek. Win-win

I lived in the (formerly) Golden State for over 30 years and witnessed the social decline of which homelessness is a symptom.
First, a distinction has to be made, there are two main categories of "homeless":
1. Invisible: These have fallen on temporary hard times or financial problems. They may be living in vehicles, couch surfing with friends family, or some other emergency shelter arrangement.
2. Street: group is almost entirely composed of the chronically drug addicted and seriously mentally ill. Many of these, especially in milder climates with lax enforcement, actually prefer the streets to shelters due to strict rules (drugs, guests, curfews, etc).
That website is known for having right biased editorials and the article in that link is labeled an opinion.
