Um, but, the whole start of this was that SM was meanest to homeless.

OK, but even so. My only point is that SM has made a big thing out of dedicating infrastructure to housing them (though
sans coffee cups, apparently, which the homeless can obtain just up the coast).
Wikipedia blurb
- Santa Monica is known locally for its progressive politics, including policies that address the needs of renters, consumers, and the homeless. Residents of the city are among the largest contributors in the nation to Democratic Party candidates. The city was well known for its strict rent control ordinance, which had been enacted in 1978 and was partially overriden by state law in 1999. Santa Monica is sometimes called the "Homeless Capital of the West" due to the presence of the third largest homeless population in Los Angeles County (after Downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood), a large number of whom are teenaged runaways; satirist Harry Shearer calls it "The home of the homeless."
