they should also consider that the Nordic countries also have those problems but much fewer homeless. We don't have resources to treat all people with mental illness.

The main difference to Denmark is that the city must find housing for homeless people (by law) and they get enough money to not descend into a hole they cannot get out of.

Denmark is small and they have enforceable borders.

Calif can’t tell someone from Nevada or New Mexico, don’t come here. Regardless of origin, Calif is saddled with dealing with the homeless. Denmark can contain the issue.

Size is irrelevant (less people = less resources to take care of less homeless) and Denmark is part of the Schengen area.
