The weather is more stable and less seasonal than in most other states. And California has richer cities and municipalities than most other states, so maybe there's a belief that the homeless will at least have a better shot at getting care here.

But I guess from Nevada's point of view I am not sure if they really do want to help or just want to get rid of them. Maybe if they sent them to Chicago in the middle of the winter, whoever made that decision could in theory be criminally prosecuted somehow.
