Worse than the people outside your windows screaming, having fights, r*ping each other, being abused, assaulting others? Is very easy to judge when you don't live the consequences.

Anecdotally, I have SF colleagues who surprisingly often have to interrupt phone calls to check on disturbances outside. Filing a police report does nothing even for battery.

I'm still amazed by this Greater LA story where a vagrant has holed up on a woman's front porch, and the police won't do anything.

Yup, and the police let them out again[1]
