Very fair point, haven't thought about it that way. I wonder if any studies have been done on where the homeless in the liberal leaning cities actually originally come from.

As for the Dems in congress - You'd need the right kind of democrat also. I think Hillary clinton did a real number to that parties reputation during her time in power. The american democrats desperately need smart, ethical and above all honest new faces that will fight the rampant corruption in american politics.

In some cases, homeless people are given bus tickets to liberal cities by officials

People in the thread below were complaining about how toxic reddit is. Politics is ten times worse.

Why would a smart, ethical and honest person ever get within a gunshot of politics?

And should by any accident that happen, how such a person would survive?

Don't think smart, ethical, and honest matters. Oh sure, those things are great and greatly preferable to the status quo. But the reason why other countries have good homeless policies and why we don't is not because they have unusually honest politicians, I don't think. They're just further left economically, and thus more supportive of the downtrodden.
