<There are TONS of homeless in the dot com area south of market SF. To be fair... it used to be much worse before the companies came in, but I wonder if the old "regulars" have been escorted or driven away to other areas of the city or if their situation has truly improved? It is such a shocking contrast its difficult to take sometimes. The infusion of cash does more good than harm there I think though.> Yes, the homeless situation in SF has been shocking for a long time. Granted, much has to do with lowered priorities for mental illness care, reduced welfare, etc. But given that nationwide social landscape, I believe the homeless tend to congregate in a city like SF because of its social tolerance, generous civic services, and wonderful weather. They do exist. The question then becomes where do they choose to locate. <BTW I wanted to tell you I just got a yosemite license plate... > I love those. They are my favorite. And yes, it is for a very good cause, as it is one of my very favorite places. (My chauvinistic Seattle relatives just don't know what they're missing! <g>)
