=== New York City ===
In [[New York City]], Skid Row was a nickname given to the [[Bowery]] during much of the 20th century.<ref>{{cite news|author=Jesse McKinley |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/13/style/along-the-bowery-skid-row-is-on-the-skids.html?pagewanted=1 |title=Along the Bowery, Skid Row Is on the Skids |access-date=2010-04-06 | work=The New York Times | date=2002-10-13}}</ref>

Along East 125th Street in [[East Harlem, Manhattan]], there is a noticeable density of homelessness and drug use.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://patch.com/new-york/harlem/mayor-visits-east-harlem-blocks-troubled-drug-use|title=Mayor visits East Harlem blocks troubled by drug use|publisher=[[Patch.com]]|author=Garber, Nick|date=10 November 2020}}</ref> There are elements of a drug and poverty-related society along with homelessness in [[Lower Manhattan]]. 

New York City's climate is colder during the autumn and winter, thus more people experiencing homelessness are sheltered (less than 10% of people experiencing homelessness in the city are unsheltered), and elements of blight are usually less visible than that of west coast cities. As of 2019, 5% of NYC homeless people were unsheltered, compared to the [[San Francisco Bay Area]]'s 67% being unsheltered.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Bay-Area-homeless-unsheltered-67-percent-NYC-13757259.php#:~:text=67%20percent%20of%20Bay%20Area%20homeless%20are%20unsheltered.,28%2C000%20people%20across%20the%20nine-county%20region%20lacking%20housing|title=67 percent of Bay Area homeless are unsheltered.
