I don't think that SF is better than NYC for the homeless. A big difference between SF and NYC is that NYC provides shelter for people that can't afford housing and SF does not. Only 5% of homeless people in NYC are unsheltered compared with 67% in the Bay Area. Legally, NYC is required to provide shelters for anyone who needs it, while SF shelters have waitlists of over a month. https://medium.com/@josefow/new-york-decided-to-end-street-homelessness-and-it-basically-succeeded-ab27f3ec5a65 https://medium.com/@josefow/new-york-decided-to-end-street-h... https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Bay-Area-homeless-unsheltered-67-percent-NYC-13757259.php https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Bay-Area-homeless-uns... https://sfpublicpress.org/news/homelessness/navigation/2017-06/shelter-wait-times-soar https://sfpublicpress.org/news/homelessness/navigation/2017-...
