The statistics you cite say absolutely nothing of how CPD treats the homeless, or how many of their homeless are off the streets because they're instead incarcerated. If you applied Chicago's policing practices in San Francisco, you would have a whole lot less homeless people. Chicago also enjoys the luxury of being relatively unattractive as a destination for the homeless. San Francisco is a magnet for the homeless, which certainly contributes to the disproportionately high numbers for its size. San Francisco obviously has the resources at its disposal to do good things about it. I look forward to something positive in the future. I am not an SF resident, nor do I own property there, though I have spent quite a few years in the area.
