I ask this out of utter ignorance from the opposite coast: are conservatives hindering liberals in remedying homelessness? SF seems to have a reputation for prevalent homelessness, but idk what influence conservatives have there.

west coast homelessness is complicated. From intentional drifter, young kids who choose to live on the street and people who suffer from mental illness refusing assistance, its a hard issue to tackle.

When i first moved to Portland, OR from Boston, i was blown away just how prevalent the problem is. The weather also makes is much easier to survive long term homeless. Back east, a lot of these people would've frozen to death.
