People from other countries do not get welfare in the USA. that is a myth. The problem with 'SF' is people flocking from conservative areas in the US that have solved their homeless problem by literally bussing people to SF. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2017/dec/...

Why do you say it is a myth?

"63% of Non-Citizen Households Access Welfare Programs Compared to 35% of native households"

From Wikipedia:

"The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) is an anti-immigration think tank. It favors far lower immigration numbers, and produces analyses to further those views. The CIS was founded by historian Otis L. Graham and eugenicist and white nationalist John Tanton."

Do you have another source? I am not so convinced by this source.

There is a section on the methods used, along with naming the dataset, the SIPP.

There is a link to the SIPP in the endnotes of the page. The SIPP is from the Census Bureau.

My point is that SF can not fix welfare on its own because it doesn't have the power to stop people from other states moving in. It either needs to be a nation wide fix or for the city/state to become its own country.

Maybe the rest of the country should stop people moving out of that city/state.
