NYC has spent decades bribing its homeless residents to relocate to other states[1]. Not every city has a giant tax base of hedge fund managers and Goldman Sachs executives that gives them the luxury of simply paying to have their homeless problem sent away.

Can’t read due to paywall, but it says nyc is just shipping homeless to newark. That’s still nyc metro.

Also nyc doesn’t have low per capita homeless numbers. It does however shelter them better than, say, SF.
