One of the consequences of the liberal tendenancies in California is visible homeless people.

Californians just don’t want their cops regularly as policy beating homeless people and arresting them for existing.

That’s why other downtowns don’t have homeless, they’re swept aside.

This is true for the most part. NYC has more homeless, but they are kept out of Manhattan, and the supportive housing is in the outer boroughs. That said, I think NYC also does a better job of housing their homeless.

But, to your point about being too liberal, I've seen some of the most disgusting things ever in Powell BART station, and when the police try to kick people out, they get too many complaints and have to back off. So we all have to suffer.
