Here in Vancouver, Wa we are the third largest city in the state with a bum on every major corner, holding up a sign wanting money, smoking a cigarette, many with their dog at their side. A lot of them in their twenties and thirties. But it's not as bad as Portland, OR. The wife and I rode along the waterfront, I counted 38 bums on the east side under the Marquam bridge and 68 on the west side sleeping or passed out in the park.
Thought they were supposed to be called "the homeless." Anyway, I work in an area that has public housing mixed in with an otherwise nice historic town. The other day I caught a young guy trying to steal my gloves that were drying on my handlebars. Seriously, sweaty bike gloves. My bike is triple locked.
