As most of these places (obviously NOT Salt Lake, NYC, Eugene or Battle Creek) have mild climates it shouldn't be a surprise that they have large populations of people living rough. Also, if an area, usually more liberally governed, has more social programs and outreach to assist people living on the streets or in a vehicle then that's going to increase the population of people going somewhere to get that help. And there are many accounts and or even unwritten policies where conservative areas will buy a bus ticket sending unhoused people to these and other locations which further concentrates and exacerbates the problem. Most people would probably prefer life on the streets somewhere like LA, Honolulu, or Santa Barbara than small towns in Mississippi, Louisiana, or Alabama which all rank as having the lowest rates of homelessness in the country.

@UnitedStates5050 💯 We might not be able to get everyone off the streets, but we could reduce the numbers by a huge percentage if there was a will to fix the problems and not just manage the crisis.
