It’s a warm climate with large cities which provide sufficient incentive for people to choose to be homeless over other avenues of living

Homeless people obviously want to live somewhere like Cali over Canada for the winter. California also provides massive welfare to homeless. They also have a very open arms policy to illegals who are often poor and homeless

These aren’t exhaustive reasons why, but it’s a core part of it. California politicians seem to be unwilling to address complicated social problems head on and instead virtue signal and allow these problems to grow and fester

I’m not going to provide you with sources. It’s too politicized of a subject. If you don’t want to accept it for being this way i’ve learned not to argue. But at the very least if people really can’t see why this problem exists as it does, here an entry

Your argument is that an immigrant would rather be homeless in the US than housed in their home country?

Almost no data backs that up.

lol people would rather be poor in the US than mexico yes.

your dichotomy is a false representation. and a poor one at that

You think people choose to be fucked up? And what's the solution here, shoot the homeless?

Guess what you're in a never ending war. Every day new crazy people are born or made by our wonderful society, poverty keeps spreading (where's my replicators!).

[beerpls]

people who take this emotional and illogical approach is exactly why the homeless suffer to the extent they do

stop virtue signaling and start thinking or kindly avoid this topic because you’re only causing harm

Why do they live in SF and further north if it's for weather?
