No, while it’s not the only reason, the weather there does play into why there are so many. Would you rather be homeless right now in California or in North Dakota, where it is apparently 9* right now.
The coasts have huge income disparities in general. Because of the heavily-government subsidized or manipulated service economy.
Lots of riches being made over those artificially low interest rates and companies becoming public with huge losses year after year just to make their owners rich.
The amount of billionaires in California who made their fortunes by shocking immorality, becoming public to raise revenue even though they don't make a profit and due to the ultra-low Obama interest rate policy is shocking.
It certainly is interesting how the liberal California Democrats claim that the Republicans are the party of the rich and working-class people who vote for them are voting against their best interests when middle-America and flyover country have huge middle-classes compared to California per-capita.
The income disparity is to a level now in California that they are having huge, huge outbreaks of disease on a very frequent basis. The lower castes of society are living in conditions as crowded as tenements in the 1800s.
I wonder how many Los Angeles liberal elites are getting sick from eating in restaurants where many of the employees live multiple families or ten or more people per house. Likely lots of wealthy elites getting severe norovirus, severe influenza and other diseases from the terrible living conditions that their service workers have to live in.
Should come as no surprise that all kinds of people prefer to live in California versus say, Erie, Pa which experienced 5' of snow over Christmas.
In terms of income inequality, there's not a whole lot of difference between California and Texas.
This is a bash liberal governance thread, not the weather of CA. It is wonderful weather in FL as well, but they are not a bunch of leftist kooks looking to have open borders, and essentially a sanctuary state. They have no state income tax, and are not saddled with all the absurd regulations of CA, etc., etc.
Los Angeles has an estimate 20,000 homeless people living on the street mainly in Skid Row. Downtown LA.
Many have erected tents and tarps to form shelter.
The area is consired to be one of the most dangerous places in LA.
I've said it many times already.
Homeless flock to California because they'd rather be homeless in paradise than live in the hellish red states.
The question ought to be - Why are red states so horrible?
California has Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, it's the TV and movie capital of the world, tourism is great. They economical numbers are supposedly great.

But then you have a bunch of homeless.
That's income inequality in a nutshell.
The following states have greater income inequality than California:
New York
Connecticut
Wyoming
Nevada
Florida
Massachusetts
The Geography of U.S. Inequality What’s also intriguing about these charts is that between 1990 and 2014, the states that we tend to think of as economic engines for the country -- like New York, California and New Jersey -- are the ones where inequality has grown the most. By contrast, states that have lagged economically -- like Arkansas and Mississippi -- are the ones where economic inequality has narrowed the most.
By 2010, the most unequal states were California, New York, Texas, Arizona and Georgia.
That and they can only afford to live in their car.
Yeah, yippee, they should be happy to have that, right?
they choose to buy luxury cars...
