Homeless people on the streets of the bay area, especially San Francisco, have become a phenomenon that Americans and the media have become accustomed to. According to the latest statistics in 2017, the number of homeless people in San Francisco has reached 7,500, making it the city with the highest proportion of homeless people in the United States, and it is getting younger, with more people under 24 becoming homeless than in previous years.
When you walk through downtown San Francisco, you'll be surprised to learn that the place known as the "mecca of technology" is one of the most homeless cities in America. The rise of high-tech companies is invading other professions. While the tech boom has brought huge wealth to San Francisco, it has also attracted more homeless people. High wages have pushed up housing prices, and limited land development in the San Francisco area has squeezed out housing space. The vagabonds were different ages and colors. You will never walk down the street with curiosity and presence like in a zoo. Instead, you will intuitively feel the danger of being mugged at any time. Some of them will stare at you or even yell at you suddenly, and pedestrians are usually in a hurry to get out of the way. From their disgusted and disgusted eyes, you can see the dark side of America's strong economy and advanced technology.
These people may have affected the appearance of the city and frightened the pedestrians, but we always sympathize with them, because they are vulnerable people, victims, and have no choice in their fate.
