[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why the uptick of homeless in SF?[/quote] Because other cities sent busloads of THEIR homeless people here via bus. Now we're stuck with them. Plus, we do not have enough housing for the working poor because of all the rich tech firms that came in and hired high earners. That created a housing bubble and rents skyrocketed. So we have public school teachers who are living in their cars, and fire fighters and EMT people who live two hours outside the city. So for example, we've had some contract lawyers working at my law firm and the other day found out the one sitting near me has been taking a 2.5 hour commute each way from Los Gatos. She needs the work. So the people who had three months of savings, had to spend it. The people who moved in with roommates, lost their rentals when their leases were up. They couch-surfed as long as possible, and then had no choice but to become homeless. [/quote]
