Maybe if other states could be blocked from buying one way bus tickets for their homeless citizens and instead be responsible that would help.

California buses the homeless out as much as they're bused in. It's complicated[1].

This is an urban legend and gets claimed in every major city.
San Francisco has great weather, lots of well off people to panhandle from, and treats the homeless relatively better than its neighbors. It really is that simple.

It’s not an urban legend. Mayor Bloomberg had a well funded, well documented program in NYC. Quick duck duck go.
Many others have piled on, so the burden has shifted to you. What support do you have for this being an urban legend?

And other cities are bussing their homeless to NYC as well. How can NYC fund the entire countries homeless population?

It’s real. There are plenty of articles about it. The cities are playing hot potato with the homeless because there’s no federal program to deal with it. 80% of the homeless get back on their feet in months. It’s only 20% who are chronically homeless. It’s a mental health and drug abuse issue.

It's not an urban legend, it's well documented and there have been lawsuits based on it.
