My uncle moved to SF in the early 2000s and died in May 2020 on Eddy St. Even before he became "homeless" he just did drugs all day and thought the world owed him something. He had a college degree and everything, worked white collar jobs, but decided he liked heroin more than that stuff, so he moved to the Tenderloin. Lack of housing wasn't part of the equation, it was the lifestyle that drew him.

- ghostbrainalpha 5y agoI'm sorry about your uncle. The crazy thing about Heroin, I think they talk about it in Trainspotting, is that it isn't entirely irrational to value heroin more than everything else in life. That's how unbelievably good it makes people feel. My great fear is that someday someone will make something as powerful as heroin, that doesn't have the same barrier to entry, and can easy be smoked out of a vape pen or something. Just that could easily be the demise of civilization.
