Some of them have been deported from other states (thanks Las Vegas!), some of them still have a very romanticized view of San Francisco
From what I gather, both of these statements are true. But it is also my understanding that our best data suggests that only about 10 percent of homeless come from elsewhere. The vast majority supposedly wind up living on the street in whatever place they last had housing in.
I'm not sure how reliable such data is. I suspect data on homeless folks is somewhat hand-wavy.
