#2how prevalent is the phenomena of states 'offloading' the homeless to California? With free movement between states, I can understand the rationale of unscrupulous political leaders to encourage relocation rather than solve the problem locally. Is this considered an acceptable theory?

It's probably also much better to be homeless in California than somewhere that experiences harsh winters.

unquestionably - being able to sleep outdoors all year round levels California up

Are you suggesting a desantis style operation for the homeless? Unlikely, else we would hear about it.
But since it is probably better to be homeless in California than in other neighbouring states, they probably passively make their way there through push pull factors.

It is, there are plenty of documented cases. What I dont know is the relative proportion of the population thatbcomes from that, vs those that came to be homeless in California by other routes.

Nevada did this to California a couple years ago actually [0][1]. That said, a number of major em cities such as New York do offer homeless people the choice to accept a lump sum and a ticket to the city of their choice IN RETURN for them being ineligible to homeless services in the source city [2][3].

The homeless “migrate” to California on their own accord. I know this from back in 2008 when thousands of homeless would migrate from colder parts of the country into Southern California for the winter.

Wow. Thank you very much for the links, I guess I was completely misinformed with regards to this already being a policy for some local governments.
