westernrvparkowner,
Are you seriously saying that 500,000 folks are homeless just in California? If so, what a mess.
California will attract a lion's share of the homeless. California has laws that have the unintended effect of promoting homelessness. Examples are laws that protect panhandling, prevent actions that move the homeless out of public areas, tolerance for public drug use and alcohol abuse and a social infrastructure that provides a safety net when needed, thus allowing the homeless to rebound and return to their ways when their personal crisis passes. Plus, the state's climate is very temperate and favorable for the homeless. And California has the greatest population of any state to begin with.
