No, it's not close to the same. There is homelessness in SF, but the level of poverty in India is breathtaking.

Places like India have a much wider spectrum of extremes between incredible poverty and incredible wealth. North America has a subset of that spectrum.

If you don't believe this, I challenge you to drop yourself into 0-star in any place like India and see how it stretches you.
