That's a highly misleading statement. Homeless busing programs are common across the country and while not without their problems, they don't just send all homeless to a single location such as Texas to SF. Also, SF buses considerably more homeless out of its city every year than it receives via bus.

- checker 8y agoHave you actually been to DC? Union Station always had homeless outside when I worked nearby. DC may be unique in a few ways but in most ways it's similar to any other large city for the people that live there. I agree that there's a problem to be solved but DC is far from squeaky clean...

- joejerryronnie 8y agoSounds like there's enough demand to create a "homeless busing as a service" app.
