From my time with a county government: homeless tend to cycle between being within municipal city limits, unincorporated county, and state/federal lands like Dept of Transportation lots with highway overpasses and such.
Shuffling between jurisdictions keeps legal proceedings ever going anywhere.
That's it exactly, move them around like whackamole.
They probably are doing what a lot of places in the country do and just bus the homeless people out of their city and send them to another.
That's how they all ended up in SF in the first place.
Living on the Southern Atlantic seaboard here, a lot of our homeless are from New Jersey and Maryland... usually get a big wave of them come winter; local governments in the northeast shipping them down so they don't die from exposure in the colder months.
They're all turning up where I live across the bay
Similar thing going on in Seattle.
Yeah, I've been wondering about that.. any theories?
Sweeps by police mostly. Lots in jail, others pushed to suburbs (especially since they combined the Seattle homelessness initiatives with king county resources), and a few put in temporary housing.
They could put them all in Sausalito and Bay Farm. That would precipitate a solution quickly, I’m sure.
