    Interesting article J, definitely about awareness….Bring from cali, everytime we come through the Bay, always saddened to hear others comment about how they always see homelessness stand out more in SF than in other major cities. It’s relative I know, but I’m glad to know there is a long term solution being worked on from a realistic and perception standpoint.
