Yeah that's totally because of all the tech bro salaries and not a massive homeless population and the opioid epidemic /s

Why do you think there are homeless people in SF? Because concentration of wealth happened so quickly with Big tech moving to the area that local were priced out if their homes.

Oh please. There's a ton of homeless people in SF because the weather is nice and the city gives them a ton of support
No one goes from 'almost able to buy a home in SF' to homeless, you're missing some steps there

Lol are you joking? No one is talking about being able to buy a home. I’m talking about being able to afford a 1 bedroom. Look up the median rent in SF since 2010. It almost doubled until he recently started decreasing in certain area. You don’t think a rent that doubles is going to push some people on the street? Do you live in SF? If so ask someone who has been there for 20 years how the situation has changed over that period.

No it would just push people to move farther from the city center
If you can afford 1000/month when prices go up you move. You don't suddenly become homeless with a salary/career where you were able to live in SF before

There are a lot of people with absolutely no disposable income. Just having to move is a huge financial stress to them. Aside from the actual cost of moving, you might need to spend more time commuting which adds more cost. A ton of people are very vulnerable financially. Why do you think there are so many homeless people? They’re just lazy? I’m curious where you live? This stuff is really obvious

I'm curious how much you've interacts with the homeless? Any soup kitchens or charity events? There's maybe a 1 out of 50 chance you come across some one who's well put together, education, has a job, but is just a few bucks short each months
those aren't the people waiting in line at the shelter

They don’t start like that. It takes time to pile up enough problems on a human for them to become addict or mentally ill

What you think rich people don't suffer from mental illness?
Not every problem can be blamed on someone else, especially if the issue is your own brain

Of course they can. Ok you’re just trolling at this point. Good luck
