The West Coast has temperate weather which makes them a desirable destination for the houseless, as well as other jurisdictions to send their populations over. You don’t see that level of homelessness in fairly liberal drug policy states of Illinois or New York, and I’m sure there are even more examples.

Also, the previous rebuttal makes no sense. If an area has a high amount of drug use, what does it matter whether if the law there are legal or illegal, with respect to how that affects homelessness? Was the GP claiming only the well-to-do housed are using drugs there?
