No one is “forced” to move……
Really, if it’s “undocumented” then how do you know….
Because some Americans have to live with the illegals…
They closed some of the most important State Hospitals.

And the answer is to bring them back. Should be part of BBB and infrastructure. But too many already have sticker shock as it is….
Fix the family……………

Unfortunately they have spent all the projected money on their salaries and pensions so they drag their feet. The want to “defund,” not increase it.
The complicated way of dissolving a number of the State Hospitals was all about themselves and the unions too. Deals were made.
Now look at the mess. They don’t know how to fix it. The State has to do it, not the Federal. The State is going to have to stop cheating the people, by funneling all the money to themselves and friends.
Few have any idea what to do no matter how the councils meet and talk.

I agree though it’s not just California. It’s true that for obvious reasons there’s more homeless people congregated in more temperate climate states. But the problem does exist across the country. I don’t think mental health and care for those suffering from it has the attention it needs.
The poorest towns in America don’t even have homeless people. It’s just democratic run cities with a lot of money where forces poor people into extreme poverty issues the breakdown of family immigration low wages, no pride in America no identity no common culture no one language.

Weather does have something to do with where mobile homeless go, but releasing people from prison and closing down the hospitals and defunding police has far more to do with it.
The philosophy went from helping mentally ill, to better pensions and salaries for Admins and Sacramento. Form a club and hierarchy in power working to keep their jobs and benefits and to hell with the patients.

No police departments have been defunded
A few ignorant democrats floated that. It’s not supported by the Biden administration nor by the vast majority of Americans. The notion was just killed In Minneapolis too.
Closing down mental hospitals was in fact a stupid move in California back in the 1960’s when they had the best mental hospitals in America. A very bad deal.
Carter signed legislation to provide federal help for states a month before he left office and Reagan killed that…
But certainly America needs to address mental health if we’re going to solve the homeless problem as clearly upon any encounters with homeless people it is readily apparent that many/most have mental health issues.
As to prisoners being released, Covid was ravaging the prison population on a much higher rate than the general population and of course that’s due to overcrowding, and that’s largely due to silly US drug laws……
Here’s who’s been tracking this since the pandemic began if you care….
We reported early in the pandemic that prisons were releasing almost no one. Almost a year later, it’s still true: We found that the moderate drops in prison populations in 2020 were the result of fewer admissions, not more releases. And shockingly, most parole boards granted fewer paroles during 2020 than 2019. The result? As of December 2020, 19 state prison systems were still at 90% capacity or higher.
And yet state prisons are filled with people with preexisting medical conditions that put them a heightened risk for complications from COVID-19. So far, we are aware of these state officials taking steps to reduce the prison population in the face of the pandemic
Still making up shit.
More than 20 major cities have reduced police budgets in some form, and activists are fighting to ensure that is only the start
Austin, Texas, has made some of the most dramatic changes in the country, directly cutting roughly $20m from the police department, and moving $80m from the agency by shifting certain services out of law enforcement. The city has gone from spending 40% of its $1.1bn general fund on police to now allocating about 26% to law enforcement.
In Seattle, councilmembers initially pledged to meet activists’ demands and cut the police budget by 50%, but ultimately backtracked amid intense police opposition, passing a reduction of about 18% (by leaving vacancies unfilled and moving certain functions, like parking enforcement, out of the police budget).
In 2020 budget votes, advocacy groups won over $840m in direct cuts from US police departments and at least $160m investments in community services, according to an analysis by Interrupting Criminalization, an initiative at the Barnard Center for Research on Women. In 25 cities, such as Denver and Oakland, officials moved to remove police from schools, saving an additional $34m.
