Traveling around Sacramento, the crisis is clear to see. 

DailyMail.com cameras captured people living in tents, RVs, pushing around shopping carts with their entire lives in them and more in the city under Interstate 80. 

As a percentage of population, Sacramento (0.96 percent) nearly doubles San Francisco (0.50 percent). 

This comes as crime also continues to rise in tandem with the number of unhoused people living in the jurisdiction. 

In Sacramento, crime has risen up to 17 percent from the same point last year, according to the city's data.  Robberies are up 42 percent and rapes are up a shocking 92 percent.
