Same transition is true in San Francisco and Los Angeles. There’s a terribly growing mental health crisis among the homeless, and it’s hardly above the radar of people not directly focused on the issue.

199X:. Got off the bus to investigate downtown, had some idea that the big city was interesting. 10 seconds in, gnarly looking dude tries to sell me meth or similar. Turned investigation elsewhere.

The longer the rough sleeping and living goes, the more precipitious the mental health decline. I'm a mess after one night of no sleep. I can't imagine months of adrenal not safe sleep
