I'm not saying life is bad in San Francisco, those statistics are just one part of the equasion. (the other parts: leaving behind family, friends, the good life I already have etc)

I am just against the notion that propping up that random incompetent guy (at least to some degree, so he wont roam the streets doing crazy stuff) is always a bad decision.

Preventing those people from failing miserably (and the negative side effects that come with it) - thats basically why we have a lower income over here.

And my pricetag for giving up all that is higher than just doubling my income.
