Welcome to San Joaquin County, Homeless Haven USA.Talk to a few “non-local” homeless and they will tell you basically the same thing: It is easier being homeless here in Manteca and other San Joaquin County locales because it is less of a hassle.Dig a little deeper, and you will find out it is generally the same reasons a lot of people move here: low crime and a greater sense of safety, friendly and generous people, and the weather.Don’t laugh. It’s true. It’s just that those things have a different take when you are on the street as opposed to having a roof over your head.Take crime and safety.
