It does, though, and the article I linked explains what actually happens: people are not systematically shipped to any particular big west coast city. There are numerous programs in numerous cities which send people back home, essentially, to places where they have support in place and simply need a way to get there.

And I disagree with your analysis. That's not an attack on you or The Guardian for that matter.

While there certainly are programs as you mention, there are (and have been for decades) others that do not seek to reunite people with support systems -- rather they just want those pesky homeless people gone.

Out of sight, out of mind and all that.

I'll point out that this is a myth as many time as you repeat it until you cite some source to back up the assertion.

And what I cited is not my analysis, it's a reputable publication that did actual investigative journalism.
