One (or a couple of) cities don't represent the whole country, naturally.

These were probably either recent migrants ("refugees" for lack of a better term) or Roma camps (which are not today's problem). They could as well just be homeless, sure (depends on the park, location, etc). Mostly, they are the result of progressive policies gone unchecked as well.

But are these in the same quantity/concentration and causing as much trouble and being as aggressive as the ones in SF?

Very true. Neither does San Francisco, of course.

Absolutely not. My point was that San Francisco's problem is not obviously that it's in a "third-world country".

How bad are the banlieues?
They have several problems but not necessarily homelessness.
