[quote=Anonymous]I was in SF a few months ago and saw this all over downtown SF. I've also noticed this in other west coast cities, especially Portland. It's a different type of homeless. In the DC area, homeless are usually mentally ill, older, veterans in many cases, and often Black. In the west coast, it seems like a lot of younger white kids. Last time I was in Portland, I was stunned to see a white woman who looked to be about 20 kneeling on the street in front of Powell's bookstore asking for money. You just don't really see young white homeless people in the DC area. The reason is the west coast has decent weather year-round, so it's an "easy" place to be homeless. I'm guessing Minneapolis is not facing this problem. Then add to that the SF housing policies (development moratoriums) which results in extremely expensive housing due to lack of supply, and it's difficult for anyone to get out of the homeless situation if they want to.
