1. Numbers-wise, this is largely a problem with #2. Most homeless aren't the sidewalk shitting variety. In general, California cities don't round up and kick out their homeless. I never saw sidewalk shitting homeless when I lived in SF, but my understanding is it's gotten worse since I moved out. I live in a suburb of LA and have never seen sidewalk shit down here, unless it was deposited by a dog.
2. This is largely a city-level problem. The state of California is trying to solve it. The cities are NIMBYs and always want someone else to house all the people.
3. This sounds like an SF problem. Again, I don't live there anymore. Keep in mind that less than 3% of the population of California lives in SF.
- corethree 3y agoOriginal poster here. Lived 10 years in LA and grew up in the bay. You're right sf is worse. LA used to be better. Less homeless people. Its largely getting worse and going in the same direction as sf. It won't ever be as bad as sf because la is simply not dense enough. However the underlying problems are all there and it's getting worse. Santa Monica used to be much nicer. SF is the direction LA is heading towards.
