People in California could overestimate the "homeless problem" in Kansas City. It gets really cold there. Missouri and Kansas are both brutal to poor people. (I've lived in Missouri most of my life so I'm allowed to admit that.) The homeless in KC are likely to avoid situations in which they provoke response from fellow citizens or police. Buses do need to be cleaned regularly. When that doesn't happen, the homeless might be blamed, but a more fair target might be poor administration.
