You're seeing this is smaller cities as well (San Diego and Portland come to mind). I'm curious on the data of homeless pop percentage-wise - as I think both of those cities would be much higher. From an anecdotal perspective, I left San Diego for a year to travel and coming back now it's much, much worse than before. Tent cities are way bigger, the homeless population seems much more aggressive, and the small fact that we have a Hepatitis A outbreak due to there not being bathrooms for them[1]. While San Diego rent hasn't skyrockets like SF/Seattle, etc - the sentiment locally seems to be the huge increase is mostly due to other cities sending their tough cases here [2][3]. Seems like this should be one thing the government should be ready to handle, but it's only getting worse. 1) http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/14/health/hepatitis-a-outbreak-san-diego-county/index.html http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/14/health/hepatitis-a-outbreak-sa... 2) http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Nevada-Settles-Homeless-Dumping-Lawsuit-369736411.html http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Nevada-Settles-Homeles... 3) http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/sdut-san-diego-homeless-crisis-great-weather-2016sep04-story.html http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/sdut-san-diego-...
