Think you forgot to mention huge difference. There are actually non-homeless people on the streets of SF. In Sac it's only homeless people after 5 pm and weekends.

Wow, I was walking around on the streets downtown just today, and even after 5 PM! I must be homeless.

Sacramento County homeless count: about 3000

San Francisco County homeless count: about 6000

Los Angeles County homeless count: about 75,000

He probably has not been to Portland either which has a lot of homeless too; they are everywhere in the downtown Portland area, the drug addicted tend to hang-out under or on and around the famous Burnside Bridge.

Beautiful Vancouver, BC, the Jewel of the west coast, also has one of the worst ghettos in North America with a huge homeless and severely drug addicted population - the Downtown East Side of Vancouver.

The only time I ever saw a Herion addict shoot up on the streets was in Seattle, not LA, nor SF, nor Sacramento, but in super hipster, haughty Downtown Seattle. The dude was in a backdoor exit of Seattle's famous Nordstroms Flagship Dept. Store. Groups of other drug addicts were nearby.

Amazing how all of those homeless manage to scrap together enough money to fill up every bar and restaurant on the grid every night.

Go start another thread about it if it's such a big deal.
Exactly & its the same people doing it over & over.

Cow town. Heh. Los Angeles was once known as "Queen of the Cow Counties." Sacramento never had many cows nearby, we imported them from L.A.
Tomatotown? I never really got the cowtown thing either (other than just as a lazy dismissal), always saw way more cows in the central valley than around Sac.

The Big Tomato! Supposedly, at least from what I have been told by San Franciscans, they consider us a "cow town" because they see cows on the way when they drive from San Francisco to Sacramento, but somehow when we see cows on the way from Sacramento to San Francisco, that doesn't make San Francisco a cow town. The idea that the towns in the middle might be cow towns, including the one literally named "Cow Town" in Spanish, doesn't occur to them.
