Is this also your theory on why there is such a problem with homelessness in Portland?

  The homeless folks in Portland weren’t as violent as the folks in SF, by my memory. I don’t like a lot of what the parent post says but I think we should consider that there’s a grain of truth somewhere in it.

  For that id say it's the simplest explanation: warm weather. so all west coast has it harder with unsheltered. cities that are more progressive, like portland, sign themselves up for the worst of it, yes! fwiw im a socal native, and not all west coast cities have unsheltered problems. but the solution is obvious: have no regard for human life. Irvine, Ca is "so safe" and pristine and lovely because it expels the riff raff outside of its borders. out of sight out of mind

  Curiously, this is where all the early techbros who couldn’t afford SF moved to and bought homes.
