RE: Why do homeless people who (presumably) have no jobs & can’t afford high -dollar housing, need to live in major cities— where the jobs & high-cost housing are located — in the first place?
Well, in the case of San Francisco and Los Angeles, I can think of the following factors:
1) Welfare is generous
2) Sleeping on the streets is TOLERATED
3) These cities have the best weather in the country.
Those piers are long and large. Just open up one of them and don’t let them leave.
