Mild weather and tolerance/support of homelessness tends to draw more in.
- Terr_ 12y agoMinimally, though. Most of the people you'll encounter are locals.
- pkaye 12y agoHow do you know they are local? Based on statistics? What do you define as local? If they have been here for 5 years is it local?
- malandrew 12y agoI'd really like to see demographic statistics comparing the homeless from different cities. I'm especially interested in the mean/median distance a homeless person is from their home town (or at least the last town where they had a stable lifestyle.) I suspect SF has a greater number of homeless per capita that aren't from SF. The city is very supportive and I reckon that it is an ideal place to be homeless if you have some means to travel.
