I live in San Francisco and I don’t see how it could be worse. I’ve lived everywhere in the world and I’ve never seen such disparity. It’s depressing honestly. Every day I walk on market street to get to my bus and in 15 minutes I see 15 homeless people. They are always crazy, like they’re going to die, some will try to grab me as I walk passed them sometimes. It’s fucking depressing.

Not a useful link. All I get is a big pop-div saying I have to pay $49 to see the chart.

California is a big state of which San Francisco is a small part (2.2% population wise to be specific). San Francisco could be a disaster zone and the state stats would hardly budge.

"Well, we're not a real third world city you see - just a techno-dystopia."

Homelessness is a product of being urban. So this statistic needs to control for percent urban to be meaningful.

Case in point : Mississippi has the lowest homelessness in the US.

These are the kinds of things Steve Ballmer's USAFacts should have, but it doesn’t.

What on earth is going on in DC?
