Equally bad compared to what? As an SF resident I would argue SF has one of the worst homeless situations in the country - not necessarily in terms of overall numbers (LA/NY have more), but in terms of what I see as severe mental health issues and drug use among many (but not all) homeless people I see here.

I remember being impressed by how many apparently high-functioning homeless people I saw out near Venice in LA a few years ago. I managed to avoid Skid Row, I guess that's where you'd go to see SF-style homelessness but in a more... integrated? boxed-in? tolerated? style.
