Not on the scale of what you see heading down 6th street. You are making light of the magnitude of the homeless situation in CA. There are not streets lined with tents in NYC. The weather affects that. In places like Chicago, also devoid.

Your original point was to try to deflect by being pedantic about geography. If people are visiting from across the country to one city, it's not out of the realm of plausibility they would also go to one of the biggest cities on the planet that is less than 2 hours away. Additionally, the redditor I questioned this to has confirmed their parents went to LA, but didn't say anything about the homeless. The homeless are everywhere, it's impossible to miss them. There are tents under just about every overpass downtown.
