> 65% are not really "from SF" in any meaningful way

Only 17% reported being in SF for less than a year, what are you talking about?

> as in, became homeless while here and have been here >10 years

ahahaha oh okay you are insane.

Oh, looks like you forgot to add the 28% who were already experiencing homelessness when they arrived in SF. I’m sure that’s just an honest mistake.

> ahahaha oh okay you are insane.

So you believe that a homeless person who has lived in SF for 13 months, total, at the time they were surveyed is “from SF”? I’m not the one who created the reporting buckets.

I’m happy to change my mind given new data, but a person who has lived in a city for 1-10 years is not “from” that city. Maybe you should ask SF’s homeless census to report in more gradual buckets.
