California is a very rich state. However, it has changed San Francisco so much people don't want to visit there anymore. Plus the problem is that Most other states turf their homeless by bus to California knowing they are less likely to die in the winter in places like San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego which is where likely most of them go to live in freeway meridians and under bridges and the like.
But, like I said the problem has become so bad in San Francisco that some people leave their windows down in their cars parked on the streets because otherwise on the streets the homeless (especially drug addicts) will break the windows in almost all cars there eventually and try to steal something anything that they can sell for drugs.
These are just a few of the problems in California specifically San Francisco.
Then this San Francisco problem is made worse by Silicon Valley billionaires and millionaires driving up the price of all San Francisco houses by about 4 times what they used to be worth. So, people who have lived in San Francisco for 3 or 4 or 5 generations often have to move out of state because they can no longer pay the property taxes on places that once cost only $250,000 and now are worth 4 million dollars with this many times the increase in property taxes too. So, they are forced to sell and move to another state where they can actually afford to live.
So, already San Francisco is a complete disaster because of the homeless problem sent there by other states in the U.S. Turfing all homeless from as far as Alaska to Maine to Florida to California is not just California's problem now it is the whole nation's problem and getting worse every day.
Also, even the homeless in Hawaii are also put on a plane and turfed to California too.
Since Californians are both rich and compassionate they try to solve this problem but unless the other 49 states help this is just going to trash more and more of California over time and if other states don't get involved in solving this problem it is going to start trashing all states over time.
The other problem for San Francisco is the cost of making available actual livable homes for any homeless is now so out of reach (as you can see) that most homeless are still living on the streets there which just makes them worse and worse victims to each other and everyone else more than anything else.
It's hard to know where all this will end at this point in time.
