It's not "our" homelessness problem.
Most of the homeless in SF and LA aren't from California. Red states love to "deal" with their homeless by buying them bus tickets to the West Coast (something that Texas used to openly brag about).
If SF and LA shipped the homeless back to where they originally came from, we'd all be talking about the Midwest homelessness crisis.
- silexia 11mo agoDo you have proof of this? Can you link to a budget from a red state with a line item of "Homeless bus tickets to California"?
- DreadY2K 11mo agoI don't have sources on hand, but my understanding is that there are a lot of people who come to CA without a good plan nor a social support network, become homeless, and then people misinterpret that situation as them coming here while homeless, which then gets misinterpreted as homeless people being intentionally shipped here.
