That's a silly response. There are seven million people in the Bay Area. A tiny fraction are homeless. Try lifting up an adult human being sometime. It's not easy. These people are frequently mentally ill, addicted to drugs, or otherwise incapable of taking care of themselves. Example:

  She ended up homeless when she turned to California's 
  shelter network and hated it. ... Five years ago she moved 
  into The Jungle and says she has no regrets.
  
If you think differently, I recommend you go down there and try to lift them out of poverty. Once it's your responsibility, you'll quickly find there is a reason they are living like that.
