Couldn't agree more. One of my biggest complaints about living in SF was the endless panhandling, the odor, and the general sketchiness that comes from having homeless people everywhere. I'm very "live and let live" but everyone has a line - and SF is well past that point for me. I've spent plenty of time in other big cities and the problem is nowhere near as bad. I don't know what the solution should be, it isn't an easy problem to fix - but the current situation isn't workable. At least not for me.
