I don't know California specifically, but the homeless in Chicago congregate in the business areas and tourist places, not the residential areas as much.

I would assume California is similar since most people who live there are less likely to give things to them every day.

They may congregate there, but that is not necessarily where they "live". Not all homeless are panhandlers. In Philadelphia, a sizable portion of homeless live in tent cities on top of decommissioned raised rail lines and under bridges.
