I'm spending the winter in Melbourne Australia right now and am surprised at how few homeless people there are here. I don't really know why, but there appears to be more homeless in my home base of Boulder, CO (pop. 100,000) than here in Melbourne (pop. 4,000,000). I'm assuming there are better social safety nets here. It's quite nice that you aren't constantly panhandled and you can walk through the parks at night without fear.
