I’m not saying it is or isn’t. I’m simply saying the Bay Area is a rather unique place. Densely populated, extremely high homeless rate, extremely high cost of living. The pressure there is considerably different than it is, say, in the southeast where, it has been my experience that the vast majority of people seemed to roll with it and adjust pretty well.
I have said from the beginning, we as a society, tend to under prepare and over react. I think that is what has happened in this case as well, but to suggest that we, as a nation, are jumping out of buildings because we just can’t take it, is a bit much.
I just think it’s a stretch to suggest that whats happening in San Fransisco isn’t a microcosm of the entire country. It’s just an opinion.
