In this article about Central SoMa, the visible presence of homeless people is repeatedly tossed out in a dehumanizing way as evidence of the neighborhood's failure.
"Homeless encampments come and go, sidewalks sometimes blocked by tents and shopping carts piled high with bicycle parts."
It doesn't seem to occur to anyone quoted, or to the authors, these are struggling human beings you could maybe help. It's only scenery to establish it's a loser neighborhood.
