And how exactly would you solve the root problem of _other cities_ sending their homeless populations to those areas? Make it more miserable to be homeless there so they are forced to go somewhere else?

Law and order is one way. Homeless don't seem to gather in cities with Broken Window policing

You get what you pay for. You spend billions on homeless services you get more homeless people. You spend hundreds of millions on Law and order and you get law and order. You defund the police and you lose law and order.

I guess SF just have to stop the practice of dumping their problem on the rest of the country?

"Between 2005 to 2017, the city of San Francisco sent 10,500 homeless people out of town by bus.[1]"

According to the Guardian the free tickets to SF are in the 100s, while SF sent 10 000 away.
