San Francisco has an area (Upper Haight) where a lot of the gutter punks live and hang out. Stanley Roberts (former KRON 4 reporter) did a brief story on them.

San Francisco has an area (Upper Haight) where a lot of the gutter punks live and hang out. Stanley Roberts (former KRON 4 reporter) did a brief story on them. He found a majority of them in their 20s were from out of state and came to SF because of our lax drug enforcement laws. They said where they were from (most from Midwest) came to get away from the strict drug laws. So it’s possible more drug users will move to Portland for refuge.
