I have been watching You Tube videos produced by a man who visits cities and drives the streets showing the reality. There are three facts that are apparent.
There are lots of people doing nothing besides sitting or aimlessly wandering. Liberals advise in detail the rationalization that all these people are drugged out.
Secondly, there are locations where there are congregations of tents and semipermanent squatter encampments. These encampments are de facto evidence that these people are not really homeless. Their dwellings are tents
Lastly and most importantly are the actual streets. As the driver progresses, it becomes obvious that at 9:00 in the morning or 2:30 in the afternoon, the streets are pretty much deserted. Block after block after block of graffiti covered empty storefronts are on display. The life that was the city is gone
Here is an especial bad view of Oakland. There are many of a similar vein for other City State debacles

Photo is a clear case of how socialism works except for those who run the program.
