I get there I find a yoga class, a number of people with dogs, a few people reading books, one couple getting a little too frisky on the lawn, and one single homeless person who looked harmless.

I was in San Francisco Monday afternoon; I met someone for lunch down at "DragonEats" right by the entrance to the to Bay Bridge and I thought to myself "Gee, not a homeless person in sight". I actually took a picture of the street from my Jeep.

I know there are homeless people; I am sure there are streets with tents on them. I've just never seen them. I don't want to say "I only go to the nice areas" but I've driven all around San Francisco in the past three years and never avoided any area and I've just never seen large groups of homeless people.
