No one said there aren't homeless and violence issues everywhere. The worst tent cities in the US have been in the cities I listed. Not to mention the Capitol Hill situation in Seattle, the train robberies in LA, and on and on. These aren't climate driven problems that these cities are having.
underscore - strong attempt to put words in my mouth, that's obviously not what I was saying. People who commit repeated violent or property crimes, as well as dealers YES they should be in jail. Legitimate homeless people and addicts should get the help they need to get out of those situations. Terrible policy on crime has allowed bad elements to overwhelm the populations within those communities and overwhelm emergency and social services which takes the focus (and budget) away from people who need genuine help.
