> City's deal with their homeless populations in different ways, but if any city is overly generous it quickly gets swamped. Further, cities can export their homeless by being overly draconian.

I doubt the issue is as simple as I believe you intend - I don't think there are many examples of draconian cities eliminating homelessness via exports. I also don't think overly generous cities are swamped as much as you believe - size of city & climate are larger factors in homeless population size than generosity.

There are some examples out there of cities "exporting" homeless, or at least giving the opportunity.

Has Utah seen an increase in homeless with their free housing program?

Wouldn't they see a decrease since having a house makes you not homeless?

How big is the supply of free houses? Can Utah house every homeless person in the US who decides to move to Utah for a free house?
