Serious question, but why would SF have more of a mental health and addiction problem than other cities? The climate would be nicer in, say, LA or the Carolinas

Serious question, but why would SF have more of a mental health and addiction problem than other cities? The climate would be nicer in, say, LA or the Carolinas so it's not weather-related.
- kube-system 4y agoI'm not sure that SF does have more of a mental health or addiction problem. It certainly is visible in SF, but other cities have worse statistics depending on what specifically you're measuring. eg: https://drexel.edu/uhc/resources/briefs/BCHC%20Drug%20Overdose/ https://drexel.edu/uhc/resources/briefs/BCHC%20Drug%20Overdo... I'd say the reason it is more visible in SF is due to a combination of the density, walkability, and policies that don't hide the problem as much behind locked doors.
