Is there any big city in the US not full of homeless people?

NYC before De Blasio.

Bums are in every big time city. The question is how aggressive they are when they approach you. For example in Nola you'll always get the "I know where you got your shoes from hustle" and will be followed for a block or two. In Portland Oregon, the heroin junkies just sit on the corner and ask for change, and ignoring them won't result in harassment.

Salt Lake City?

Chalmette

dress like your homeless
homeless won't bother you

profit?

I noticed the most in San Diego and down here in south Florida over the last decade. Have to imagine the better the climate the more likely you are to have them.

I imagine they would freeze to the death in the winter, so how do they get to warmer climates to escape the harsh winter?

Well they make a decent amount panhandling. I think after a few months they could get a greyhound ticket.

SD is probably the worst in CA, if not the whole country.

Probably in Alaska.

Anchorage is full of bums actually. Wasnt very impressed with the city at all.

The village of Eagle has homeless people. Eagle is on the Yukon River in the middle of nowhere. You have to get there by plane. Think about that.

As for Anchorage, you're right, it's a shithole. I read the Anchorage paper online, and rarely does a day go by without some act of violence that often ends in death. The worst thing about Alaska is the Alaskans themselves, and it's not only limited to Anchorage. You've got thugs in the cities, and meth freaks and other assorted misfits in the rural areas. Marginal people tend to wash up at the edge of civilization, I guess.
