> a dentist with offices in Irvine and Orange, said he paid about $5,000 to sponsor seven buses…

I understand this dentist wanted to protect his neighborhood in his mind, but it's really sad if he's not donating any money to actually help the homeless.

I don't think $5k will do much in a state that spends far beyond that per person.
The problem is nobody wants the homeless at their doorsteps, including this community. If you leave them in tents in some place, nothing will change. If you apply pressure to the problem then hopefully it will get solved.
