>>878548>>878542You don't really have to give a shit about educating yourself on anything, I just figured you might care to know more or might try to learn more over time. There's definitely an increase of homeless there during the winter but it's minimal compared to San Diego and LA or even Berkeley.
The entire west coast sees an increase during the winter, but the 7 by 7 mile section that is SF has far less of an increase comparatively. Your original post was about the rain keeping seasonal bums out, but even places like Seattle and Portland see an increase of homeless in the winter probably just as much, if not more.
Particularly, only people who have never been to SF or who are a very specific class of traveler experienced with SF already would bother to go there in the winter. Good doorways to sleep in out of the rain are extemely limited, the no sit or lay law is very annoying especially in hoods that enforce it, parks are already packed with natives who have the best sleep spots, panhandling is a joke, but most importantly; San Diego and LA have better weather and more options.
That isnt even getting into a lot of the more interesting aspects that would keep/drive people away. Your city is a very large scale experiment and psyop, a playground where gangstalking actually exists. There's government agencies, random organizations and large gangs that you've probably never heard of influencing and operating in the city. That your neighborhood is so afflicted has less to do with the junkies and more to do with things behind the scenes in your city's government, though perhaps the visible poverty is more offensive than subversive politics.
You won't offend anyone here by talking shit on addicts, however I do think you should feel pity if you're going to feel anything at all(which I wouldn't recommend)
When I'm in SF I don't interact with the people you mentioned, hell, I hardly even interact with people like you. I do my own thing and love it.
