This is nuts! 17,000 people on the streets here without a plan. If you’ve ever been to San Francisco in the last ten years, there’s no doubt you probably saw a lot of homeless people. But unless you actually go into certain parts of town, you won’t actually see just how bad the homeless problem is in one of the richest cities in the nation. And what’s terrible about it is that the city’s efforts aren’t addressing the core root of the problem. And it’s getting worse here, too. Now I drove all around San Francisco on an early morning in late October in 2021. I had just left Oakland, where the homelessness is also a big problem. There’s 5,000 homeless people in Oakland and that number is growing, too. But over here across the bridge, that number is triple. Unlike Oakland, here in San Francisco there are a lot of homeless people in the downtown area, but it might not be as widespread as you think. In the nice areas on the north end of town, there are homeless stragglers in pock
