You see way more homeless people in Seattle and San Francisco then you'll see in Houston or Jacksonville. The social services and laws for homeless people are way more generous on the west coast.

There are HUGE numbers of homeless in Houston. The city center is crawling with them. Homelessness is just another one of those difficult problems.
