That does look pretty bad. I've never actually been to Canada.

In any case, the U.S, especially NYC, SF, LA, and Seattle is still worse than anywhere I've been in this regards.

Definitely is; NYC wasn't as bad as the west coast cities you named, but it's been a few years since I visited.

Part of the reason is the “temperate” climate in those coastal cities making it possible to live in an RV or camp most of the year. The other one is that there’s a policy of not preventing the encampments in the first place (check out Santa Monica for instance).
