Fair enough, but compare the population of Greater Vancouver to the Bay Area.

well I don't need to in this comparison. The homeless of San Francisco stay in the city of San Fransico. The population has dropped to 6k but homeless are showing up in the burbs.
Population of San Francisco (city): 744,041
Vancouver: 587,891
Homeless per to people ratio
for every 1 homeless person there are 86 non homeless people in the city of SF alone (based on '02 figures) or based on the new figures (the population just went to the suburbs) of 6,248 comes out as
1:119.
I'm using the official GVRD numbers for the whole area which is 2,174 homeless people
that comes out to a 1:270 ratio for 1 homeless person per non homeless.
San Francisco is the worst out of the two.
