- throwaway0a5e 6y agoI don't think you realize just how much more pervasive it is on the west coast. Your anecdote is just an anecdote.
- s5300 6y agoIf you're going to talk about homelessness on the West Coast, at least give us statistics on what percentage are native to the West Coast, what percentage came from out of state and became homeless later on, and what percentage were literally homeless in another state and given a bus ticket to the West Coast because this is a fairly rampant thing.
- bakedbeanz 6y agoYour anecdote is also just an anecdote. You're making sweeping claims without evidence and are adding nothing of substance to the discussion.
- rpdillon 6y agoI don't know much about homelessness, but I searched and found this map. https://www.usich.gov/tools-for-action/map/#fn[]=1400&fn[]=2800&fn[]=6200&fn[]=10000&fn[]=13200 https://www.usich.gov/tools-for-action/map/#fn[]=1400&fn[]=2... When I checked the box to view percentages, homelessness seems pretty consistent with the major outliers being CA and NY. CA says 26% and NY says 16%, with most everyone else on low single digits. I'm not entirely sure what those numbers mean, though.
