San Francisco population is very liberal and more tolerant of different people, such as the homeless, than most other places.
And geography makes it worse - it's well popularized in movies, that to get a fresh start, go out west ... well, many do just that, but eventually they hit the Pacific ocean and thus they tend to bunch up in the cities along there.
And then to add insult to injury, many social agencies across the country do "Greyhound treatment" ... that is to say, they give homeless people with mental / physical problems, who can't be easily helped, a one-way ticket to cities like San Francisco - out of sight is out of mind.
And lastly, homeless people are like Pigeons - feed them, and they not only stay, but tend to attract more... people / government who give money to beggers without verification / restrictions makes the problem even worse.
