San Francisco has become inundated with the homeless.  Statistics show that over 75% are not even from San Francisco but come here from other states around the country in order to receive many of the free services the city offers to those in need.  With organizations like St. Anthony Foundation and Glide Memorial church, homeless people can be fed, clothed and housed in shelters.  However with so many coming here from other cities, it takes away from the people and families who are in need within San Francisco.

You will see many people on the streets asking for cash though the above video which was taken in San Francisco will show one homeless person who has a unique gig.  I would give this guy some cash just for his creativity if nothing else.  Enjoy!
