i'm 27 now - this was when i was 25. i've since moved to the south bay to work at google, and things have improved significantly after a lot of meditation. i honestly have a more 'adversarial' mindset towards the homeless - i think a lot of the people in sf begging for change simply don't want to work, and because they can make a living preying on the guilt of people like me, they do so.
as for the schizophrenics out there, i am honestly still a little afraid of being one of them, but i'm lucky enough to have a huge support network.

Other parts of the city I think have more people that really are drug-addicted or borderline insane * http://blog.priceonomics.com/post/43085729257/the-street-kids-of-san-francisco http://blog.priceonomics.com/post/43085729257/the-street-kid...
