Do you realize that you could give that homeless person a first class ticket to Detroit? Put them up in a hotel until an abandoned house could be totally rebuilt for them. Pay their electricity, water, heating costs and taxes for the next ten years and still save California taxpayers $600,000!

Yes but would they want to go?

  But why should others have to pay for locating homeless people where they _want_ to go. It's giving money to them. It's an offer. It's not like you _must_ go there, but to expect tax payers to build homes where it's far too expensive to build... It's like sending the same people to a fancy restaurant. In what way does it make sense? To me, government intervention caused this, so maybe they should just peel back their building restrictions?

Do you realize that forced relocation is a crime against humanity?

  Not a huge deal to get past for me.

  Not if they are unlawfully occupying a space to begin with.

You could give them a ticket to Detroit, but they will wind up in LA quickly because they sold the house California bought them, but a bunch of drugs, and the weather is better for being homeless in LA than Detroit.
