Honestly, I've been to SF and NYC (Manhattan only) and have barely seen any homeless people. It didn't look better or worse than a typical European city. Probably I just didn't go to the bad districts?

SF is 100x worse than any European city I've ever seen. I guess you haven't seen Mission and downtown.

I've been to SF several times, always staying near downtown and the homeless population didn't feel any larger than Berlin's.
