I think this gets to a larger national economic issue: things aren’t great for most people, and when things get really bad, you move somewhere nice.
The many programs developed to tackle homelessness have been built around specific budgets/goals/KPIs, and are not able to handle the continuous migration of people with nowhere to go, and inherently political. I’m sure most politicians mean well.
Sure, migration trends, especially for CA say otherwise.. but there is a large swath of people that governing bodies are bad at tracking.
TLDR: another example of poorly designed government intervention due to misunderstanding of the dynamics behind the process (homelessness)
Its poorly designed for a reason: it does not address the wealth gap, exacerbated by landlord price fixing and.home ownership by corporate speculators.

Major drive is easy to understand, just cross the border and you are homeless on full support. Millions did with the help of dems, future voters. No language, no jobs, no skills. Of course they will vote for free food if they get this option. I.e. for dems, which was the whole idea.
Are you saying that the open border is unintentional and somewhere between Trump leaving and Biden taking office (probably the moment the "kids in cages" became "minor detention facilities") the border patrol suddenly became incompetent?
