This is from a couple of years ago but nonetheless...
Myth #1: California’s homeless are from somewhere else -- and moved here for the mild weather and social services.
Reality: Experts say this is one of the most common and inaccurate assumptions about homeless Californians.

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.
C'MON MAN!!!!
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.
C'MON MAN!!!!
