Maybe the weather has something to do, not in attracting homeless from other states but keeping local ones alive during winter while homeless in colder states freeze to death?
The way I was think about it, is that even if weather matters for other states, California clearly produces a large amount of their homeless domestically and not through importation.
Which may matter for other states but California is too large as a magnitude to blame on weather.
Worth noting that many services for the homeless in San Francisco are only available to people whose last residency was in San Francisco, so claims by homeless people that they are native San Franciscian should not be taken at face value.

I did it for better jobs and it took a tool in my psyche.
If you know where to sleep and where to eat and not be harassed by cops, that is more reliable than an abstract notion of bootstraps.
