    NYC doesn’t have as bad of a homeless issue as LA.

    Because you’ll literally die the very first winter night you’re homeless without shelter in NYC. They have a bunch of shelters, so the problem is less visible, and when they run out of space they bus them to L.A… Those that remain are found frozen to death in the morning.

      NYC also has a roughly equivalent homeless population to LA, but LA has less than half the population than NYC.

      Being a NYC native, I can agree that if the situation definitely is not visible. But considering the population differences, I’d say it’s not as bad in NYC.
