I could never see myself getting away with this shit round here, dunno wether that's like me worrying or what but it just seems like if you did that shit here you'd get fucked up, maybe it's cause I've never tried it but if I saw a skag head fucking around I'd stay as fucking far away from him as I could...
haha I'm not sure what you have to worry about because I have no idea what your homeless population is like there, but I really doubt they are any worse than the ones down here. Downtown LA is the homeless capital of the nation. More bums, drugs, and crime go on in a 5 block radius down here than in almost all of California. Here are some random facts..

Even among L.A.'s homeless, Skid Row is a bad address.
Los Angeles has the largest skid row in the nation, stretching across 50 square blocks.
Social service providers estimate that at least 70 percent of those who live on Skid Row have a history of drug or alcohol abuse and one-third are mentally ill. Up to 10 percent test positive for HIV. Most have a criminal record. Disease and incarceration are encouraged by exposure and by the street's only recreations, which on many blocks are also its only businesses to speak of: prostitution and narcotics. Outsiders driving through perceive the area as threatening, dangerous, a lawless expanse. And they are right, in a way, which is why clerks in the few dingy convenience stores along the long, empty blocks tuck pistols under their aprons.
