Because the middle of the country has zero tolerance for homeless once they start to become a burden, and bus them to the west coast. Nevada finally settled a SF lawsuit a year or two ago because they shut down a metal health facility and gave them all bus tickets to California.
Combine that with the moderate climates (read: you aren't sleeping in 4 foot of snow) and we just end up with an uneven distribution.

The emphasis in denver is entirely in clearing homeless camps, not in attempting to find somewhere that can handle their needs. It was pretty eye opening to see people shooting up on the street at 10am in front of cops in SF.
