I've lived in Miami and New York. My old apartment was across the street from the downtown/overtown shelter. I would say the amount of homeless out and about is dependent on location and possibly weather. New York can get brutally cold and Miami can get insanely hot. During the winter and the summer most of the homeless have settled into a shelter. Miami is only bearable because of air conditioning in offices, cars, and homes. If you've ever had the A/C break in any one of those you'd be miserable in minutes.
