That's an exaggeration. I see many homeless in every city. I don't see them in suburbia. Of course they exist everywhere. It's a matter of scale. I've been part of efforts to help. Some of them don't want to go to a shelter or get other help. I've also seen the economic impact in cities.
I don’t know where you live, but I’m in GA,; unhoused people are actually quite visible in my otherwise prosperous suburb as well as in downtown Atlanta. You think that this could never happen to you, that you’d never be one of “those people” you find so annoying?
I wouldn't be harassing random people, yes. It's everywhere but not acute outside of cities. So let's say Newsom is "anti" homeless. Who's running on homeless encampments anywhere as the "great" alternative?
And no, I’m not exaggerating at all. Ask anyone who works with homelessness in a suburban area. Our society is impossibly cruel. One suburban area in Tennessee is making it illegal to sleep in your car. What are people supposed to do?
Being in a car is different from camping outside of businesses or transit stations etc.
The fact that you don’t see them in suburbia doesn’t mean that they aren’t there and they aren’t suffering - people who just can’t find housing they can afford as well as people with mental health and/or addiction problems. While it’s invisible to you, the problem is just as serious.
"Invisible" isn't the same as not knowing about it. I worked to help. Some took the help and went to shelters, others didn't.
