While "tent cities" are growing in California, a lot has changed since the early 2000s, thanks to Oxy in the late 2000s, opioid abuse is more likely in the general population, and overdoses too with fentanyl. Overdoses were a big deal then because they were rare; thanks to Oxy though, 1 in 40 Americans abuse opioids now, overdose deaths per year have quadrupled since 1999 https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/epidemic/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/epidemic/index.html
