I don't intend to discount your personal experiences at all, but in San Francisco's 2017 report [1] on homelessness, 69% of counted individuals reported that they were living in SF at the time they became homeless, and of those, 55% had lived in SF for 10 or more years. Only 10% of total counted reported living outside of California when they became homeless. I can intuitively understand that weather may be a draw, but San Francisco's findings this year, as well as in 2015 don't appear to back that a majority of those experiencing homelessness in San Francisco are travelling there from outside the state.
