Rachael MyrowVerified account @rachaelmyrowNobody in#SanJose could fail to notice: The just released point-in-time count for 2019 shows the number of#homeless people in the Bay Area's largest city has spiked dramatically — 42% in two years. “It’s a systems failure.” -@jenloving23 of@dstnhome| https://buff.ly/2W2O0D5 pic.twitter.com/SQzkewGVtF3 replies 17 retweets 43 likesShow this thread -
In SF, "the largest increase in homeless individuals — 68 percent — was driven by people living in their vehicles. In November, the city undertook a concerted effort to disperse people living in their vehicles."https://missionlocal.org/2019/05/sf-homeless-count-up-17-percent-driven-by-vehicle-dwellers/ …

Los Angeles’ numbers came out today. Similar % increase to San Francisco. Anybody compiling 2019 counts from other major American metros? This may be a California-centric phenomenon. https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-homeless-count-encampment-affordable-housing-2019-results-20190604-story.html …pic.twitter.com/UFtkOHDydL

This raw homelessness count figure puts LA at a similar overall count to NYC even though NY has more than double the overall general population.

Technically, NY has 78,000 people who qualify as homeless in its systems, but because it's a "Right to Shelter" city, you don't visually see as many people sleeping on the street:https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/30/nyregion/homeless-nyc.html …

More on the difference between how East Coast cities and West Coast cities address homelessness here. (The LA numbers in one of the charts in this thread are wrong, though.)https://twitter.com/kimmaicutler/status/1070482286808682496 …

Kim-Mai CutlerVerified account @kimmaicutlerA little thread on why homelessness in California is so much more visible than in New York. NY has a legal "right to shelter" because of the Callahan v. Carey consent decree in 1981. https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/27/nyregion/pact-requires-city-to-shelter-homeless-men.html … https://twitter.com/samueldodge/status/1070475888620298240 …Show this thread2 replies 6 retweets 12 likesShow this thread -

Uh, clarification: This is very much a *California* issue. I haven't seen devastating double digit percentage increases anywhere outside of this state yet. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)https://twitter.com/mattdpearce/status/1135984110034464773 …
