Why do the unhoused have to be housed in high cost SF? The nice thing about doing this as a country is that they can place people not in their highest cost cities.

Right now these problems are being left to counties to figure out, just like mental health

Unless you force people to relocate, they likely won't relocate themselves.

They relocated to where they are though. A lot, or even most of the people living on the streets of SF are not from SF, or even California for the matter.
They aren't "tech bros" down on their luck either... they're not failed entrepreneurs, or folks who just couldn't afford one too many rent payments.
They're people who chose to be there for many reasons, including the friendly environment that tolerates their lifestyle.
