Data doesn't back this actually happening, though. If this were true, homeless people would be rushing to NYC. See https://medium.com/@josefow/new-york-decided-to-end-street-h... and https://www.vice.com/en/article/8xzwb5/california-is-despera...

NYC doesn't have the good weather that LA does. NYC also puts pretty strong limits on the people living in the shelters. There are a large portion of homeless that don't want to give up drugs, pets or other freedoms...so they prefer to just live in tents in nice weather.

How did we go from comparing NYC with SF to LA? None of your arguments around "good weather" applies to SF. I am struggling to see any insight in your comment that cannot be filed under "common myths people spread about homeless people."
