🤖 Conclusion [35/100]: The statement that a California residential neighborhood where homes cost $800,000 is now overrun with homeless tents, and that neighborhood kids can't ride their bikes outside anymore, is at best partially supported by the evidence presented.
First, claims about specific price points ($800k homes) being overrun with tents are not conclusively verified. The NY Post source references a more expensive neighborhood ($1.3 million median) in Marin County and does not firmly match the $800k figure. Other sources listed do not verify the $800k price point or corresponding neighborhoods facing encampments to such a degree.
Second, regarding children not being able to ride bikes due to homeless encampments, there is supporting evidence from an ABC10 news report from Sacramento where a mother states she doesn't let her kids use the bike path anymore due to safety concerns tied to a nearby encampment. However, this acknowledges presence in a specific location, not broadly throughout California, and does not directly tie to neighborhoods with $800k homes specifically.
Thus, while homelessness has affected some California neighborhoods, and at least one source confirms children being kept from bike paths due to encampments, the statement overgeneralizes and lacks evidence for the specific combination of $800k neighborhoods and widespread overrun by tents. Therefore, the claim is only slightly truthful.
