>You are wrong here. California has the worst homelessness problem in the country, and SF is leading within California. It is just not a national issue. I travel for work...no where is like SF for homeless. Chicago, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, NYC, DC,... nothing.

Where do you think most of these homeless people from? SF originally? It's a national issue, they migrate to the West Coast from all over the country because of weather and better programs. The West Coast is pretty much the social safety net of the United States for people with mental illness and other issues.

>Traffic...ummm, east bay/south bay are where most people live. Also traffic in the city is terrible too. Your Saturday routine sounds like you don't leave Marin...which sure, yeah, not a ton of traffic.

I don't hit traffic in the city before 11am on the weekends. People sleep in and get started later, if you beat the rush you beat traffic.

Yeah the traffic is definitely going to be where all the people live because that's where all the people live. You said SF specifically in your comment not the "Bay Area" or East Bay / Peninsula.
