It's more that I've been an onlooker at some vicious divorce/custody battles where they've made up some god awful lies to win (one couple later reconciled, and it was hard not to mention "didn't you lie under oath about him threatening your children with a gun?" when I saw them together again) , and mia farrow is widely acknowledged to be fucked in the head

He's definitely a few tiers down from Jimmy Savile and Chris Pilchard.
I wouldn't even put him on the same level as Kevin Spacey. He seems more like the kind of guy you'd find positioning himself to take photos down teenager's blouses than the kind of predator that would go out his way to physically molest them.
That being said, I've always thought he seemed like a bit of a creep. Just not a paedophile.

he was the de facto father figure in their household.
Whether there was a 'legal' relationship there, such as adoption, doesn't make a lot of difference. He was in a parental role in the household and he had sex with her.
Nice to see you defending that behaviour on grounds of a technicality, it's true what they say about /links.

yeah, except that he wasn't
most testimony collected in the police investigation following farrows allegations said that allen hardly had any interaction with her at all until she was almost 18. he had his own apartment and nobody could remember allen saying a single word to her. he made 3 films in two year during that time, so if he was a parental figure he was an absent one. or is that a technicality too?

Far fewer mainly because we have a much smaller population.
After years of SNP rule Scottish drug deaths have been increasing year on year and are now the highest in Europe, so I respectfully disagree with what you say. In Portugal, where drugs have been decriminalised, they have far fewer deaths, despite having more addicts.

Still, it's unlikely the Gorbals will end up looking like this, though.

I think that's got more to do with the climate than anything else.

Maybe the SNP/Green not-coalition will do something about it when they realise that most of them support independence.
I was working in a particularly drug-prone pharmacy on referendum day in 2014, and two methadone clients stood out. There was the guy who'd put all the Yes posters up on his window, but when the day came "nobody told me you've got to register to vote!" Then there was the one who'd been to vote, but was irate that he'd been given a pencil to do so. "I've never voted with a pencil in my life!" he exclaimed. "You know who that is? The English."
Yes, the English rigged the vote by altering the slips with a giant rubber. You heard it here first.

If he tried selling smack from it, local dealers would shut him down anyway.

Lots of people in the US lose everything due to medical bills.
GoFundMe is littered with pleas for help with medical bills.
Do a search on 'medical bankruptcy'

in Sao Paolo, there was an inner-city zone called cracolandia (crack land)
There was a few clubs nearby and walking through it was like a zombie game set on easy mode (shuffle speed). They cleared it out with baton-wielding riot police for the world cup in typical brasilian overkill style, so the tourists wouldn't get freaked out, as it's quite close to some historic zones and easy to stray into by mistake

My first trip to the US was to San Francisco about 15 years ago and I could not believe the amount of homeless people.
I can only liken them to pigeons, they were all pretty harmless and moved out of the way when you walked past, but they were just everywhere. I was pretty shocked.

SF filled up when they closed the mental hospitals
It's also a pretty nice climate if you're sleeping outdoors.
(Well, nice is not the word but you get me).
I stayed downtown for a conference several years on the trot and it didn't get any better. The American political system breeds fear and short-sighted selfishness, in my opinion.

Prisons are the new mental hospitals.
Politics feeds on greed and fear, the homeless are part of the fear.

It isn't just confined to the US either. The Mrs is from Vancouver, and I've had extended stays over there a few times over the last decade. I'm no expert, but the way it appears is that in the late 90s a particularly hawkish local government closed all the asylums and instituted a 'care in the community' type policy, booted the inmates out and tossed them a monthly stipend. That did not go well. So despite a more UK-like universal healthcare system, Canada is more apt to wash its hands of undesirables in a US-like fashion by tweaking the system away from direct accountability.
Which is why, now, we have areas like East Hastings (immortalised by the Godspeed You Black Emperor track of the same name) which are aglomerations of addicts, the mentally ill, veterans and the general dispossessed - with a roaming tent city on its general periphery.
Your experience of SF matches mine of Seattle and Portland as well. I'm not so well-versed on the socio-economics of the Western US, but it seems to be an endemic problem there too. Certainly as a first-time visitor it's shocking. But 95% of the time, you learn, they aren't that interested in you and you can more or less travel unmolested. I just kept half an eye out, and ladies, do not ever walk barefoot.

Classic and unseen bits (oooh matron)
Must be getting to the end of the road now if they are dishing out a "best of" video. For some this is a sad end (if it is the end as they say they will be back next week) for others a small mercy. Me? I'll be in the corner peeling onions. (and frantically pulling one off just like everyone else with a pulse)
