I've been here a year now (moved from London) and still can't quite get over the street homelessness and associated drug use. Never seen anything like it.

Yeah it is the biggest culture shock type thing for me coming back. My ride across town in the morning I see at least 3 people shooting up and so much life-pain. It sucks. I have become too euro-soft. I feel so bad for them. There but for the grace of a couple of underpaid teachers (who really helped me out in high school) go I.

It must be a west coast thing. I would say a pacific northwest thing but as a Northern Californian I am placist against anyone south of Petaluma even though I currently live in SF.
Also I am not even sure the beautiful place I am from counts as pacific northwest.
