There's homeless people living on the sides of highway on-ramps in the Bay Area. 30 years ago, this wasn't a thing, but it's gone too far: not that the people need to be busted up and bus-ticketed elsewhere, but rather civil society has broken down and failed to provide for people.
In San Diego last year I saw evidence of habitation in most downtown ramps where there was shade, no matter the ambient noise level. Friends who moved away from the Bay Area only 10 years ago came back and were shocked at the homeless encampments off of 101 in south San Jose.
