Hows the homeless situation?

It’s better in Florida. If you live in a nice enough an area the cops drive them ten towns away and give them $50.

Yeah, I guess that is cheaper than actually helping them for real

Real talk, did you know the homeless shelter costs money in Florida? You gotta beg for money just to sleep somewhere overnight.

They do that in california too. Irvine is notorious for it.

Not as good. So homeless folks leave ( or are run out) and become someone else's problem, thus making Florida look a bit better, and the problem being foisted on other states, making them look worse.

Once states like California are overwhelmed (because they are housing the homeless from all over the country) their systems fall over, the bureaucratic shortcomings become glaring, and politicians don't know how to respond. Then whole neighborhoods fall apart because these states don't do what the red states do: box up the homeless and shoo them away.
