As other commenters have mentioned, people living on the street don't comprise the majority of unhoused people. It does seem like California has a higher overall percentage of "unsheltered unhoused" people among the unhoused. But e.g. here in NYC the vast majority of unhoused people move in and out of the (largely corrupt, poorly maintained, highly restrictive) shelter system, and a only small percentage live on the street or in the subway.
