  Going from town to town is really difficult when you are homeless: Not impossible though. It will happen some, and already does to some extent since there are homeless folks that travel to better climates to avoid freezing to death. Not all, though, hence seeing homeless folks in places like Chicago. Wouldn't the solution for this sort of thing is to make sure everywhere has a robust system to help homeless folks? The solution doesn't need to be the same thing in every city so long as the outcome is the same. Towns of 3000 have different problems than towns of 40k, 200k, and 1 million, after all. As far as municipalities pushing folks off on other towns, that (in my eyes) is horrible and the folks responsible should be fired. If a city thinks this is a feasible option, it means they haven't fixed the problems they have and do not have a robust enough system in place.
