San Francisco – where drug addicts outnumber high school students
- sonnyblarney 8y agoWith rents the way they are, where do all these 25K people live?

I'm surprised this activity hasn't coalesced somewhere in on the peninsula or south bay, or even out in sunset.

For the ones that can no longer function, they can't get to or around the suburbs without a car so they become the urban homeless.
