    Individual cities are not states. There are many other cities much larger than Santa Cruz, Salinas, San Luis Obispo, San Jose, Stockton and Turlock.

    Fair enough.

    But also in fairness, the fault does not lie exclusively with the "lib'rul" policies of the state's government either, as was the presumptive suggestion of the thread title.

    They blame higher rents, evictions, illnesses and other dramatic life events for driving people onto the streets.

    "In my case, I lost my husband," added Backus, a former stay-at-home mom before she eventually became homeless.

    Evidence referenced in above post suggests it is not exclusively about liberal government policies.

    Miami, New Orleans, Mobile, Houston, Tampa, Jacksonville, warm weather cities, all have white supremacists roaming the streets? Wow. I learned something new. Good thing I come to this site.

    I never mentioned anything about liberal policies. I just posted the top 15 cities with homeless populations. Personally I think it’s a very appealing characteristic of these places. Adds much needed diversity.

    No doubt that's exactly how you'll tell it to your WP terrorist friends on Parler. LOL

    The common perception is that the higher density a human population becomes, the more liberal the policies. Since cities are high density population areas then they are Liberal.

    I agree that population density increases liberal policies. My guess is because there's so many interactions with people. In the country, a person can go for a week or two and not see someone. A neighbor, doctor, store clerk.

    With liberal policies come those who take advantage of them. In this case the homeless.

    Liberal policies don't cause homelessness, they attract it. Otherwise I'd have to be running vagrants off every once in awhile.

    The chronically homeless are mentally ill. Our nation is failing to take proper care of it's weakest citizens.

    Those southeastern, Gulf region cities get very uncomfortably hot and humid for much of the year, a climate that certain types of insects, like mosquitoes and cockroaches find hospitable.

    Something that one could assume people who live outdoors might take into consideration.

    The title seems to suggest that you were implying that.

    And it is common theme around here.

    Don’t forget all these cities have white supremacists roaming the streets setting hobos on fire, dumping bodies into garbage trucks and laws against feeding the homeless. According to Dutch.

    Sure, them too. Play dumb. Those who are really interested can delve deeper. I'm just here for entertainment.

    Actually the title came directly from the link. Are you suggesting the cited link is a far right white supremacist website?
