We've all seen the articles about Republican controlled cities putting homeless people on buses for Berkeley and other destinations in CA. wahsd is clueless.

This raises an interesting question: Do US democrats think inter-state immigration is bad? For example some liberal friends when talking about immigration last year kept posting that poem on the statue of liberty:

> "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free", etc.

The Republican controlled cities are giving huddled masses to the people who accept that immigration logic.

> Do US democrats think inter-state immigration is bad?

Not at all. The US has a big problem with homelessness, and for a long time we've been sticking our head in the sand.

Cities like SF have been trying to do something about it for a while, but I don't believe any city can solve the problem. This issue is greater than one city or one state. It's a national problem that requires national solutions.

Agreed. It's made worse by the fact that homeless people are often transient. When a city does a good job of providing services to homeless people, homeless people travel there. Rinse, repeat until the services are overwhelmed, and everyone goes back to "why are we failing to deal with our homelessness problem?"

It worked for SLC because SLC is isolated and expensive to travel to. In the tightly packed, interconnected megalopolises of the Bay Area, LA, and the Northeast, good luck getting anything to work long-term at just the municipal level.

Yeah, no, it happens in San Francisco, Portland, and New York, too.
