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.
