good jovi posted:i was in Santa Clara for a conference and walked a few blocks to the liquor store. halfway there, the sidewalk just stopped. no crossing or anything, just walk in the dirt now, you filthy pedestrian. yeah this is extremely common in many suburbs across america, even having some sidewalks is a loving luxury. i've been to places in tennessee and california whiteflight burbs where you dont even have sidewalks, just strips of dirt/shoulder afterwall, you wouldn't want "those people" to walk up and steal your tv now would you???

DELETE CASCADE posted:Oh yeah there’s lots of people living out of RVs or cars because rent is too drat high. Those count too, but I feel like a person who still owns a car and probably has a job is more of a down-on-your-luck homeless person, hosed by American society and hopefully transitioning back into housing soon, vs the completely insane or drug addicted street folks in SF who need a lot more help and cause much more obvious blight sf's homeless are some of the worst in any cities ive been to, not really so much in raw numbers as fishmech can readily point out, but the number of turbo mentally ill machette-welding kill-all-black-people and poo poo infront of kids at elementary-school types. i think sf is the only place where i'v seen aggressive harassment (or worse) for people just minding their own business. all thanks reagan/ca killed mental health programs and banned involuntary treatment, and also nimbys refuse to either fund or allow for public housing and mental health hospitals to go up bc muh views/taxes/whatever.
