Adrianna TanMost of the time, when people say ‘SF is a failed city’ and refer to homeless people, they’re not critiquing the circumstances (housing, gentrification, cost of living, lack of shelter). They’re saying the state has failed to sufficiently put away poor people, so they don’t have to see them.

I read SF as science fiction, initially.
Interestingly, some American SF projects humans across interstellar space, then settles them in a planned society, and the city plan helpfully drawn in the book indicates the slum area.
Odd place, America.
