I don't know about California, and the OP didn't deal all that much with California. Rather, he seems to be saying it would serve democrat areas right if all the problem citizens Republicans had in their communities were dumped off elsewhere.
Austin has an enormous homeless population, which grew one year by 1/3, due to people being dropped off in a homeless/mentally ill/drug addicted state from Republican areas who don't want to/can't deal with their own residents problems.
What evidence do you have to suggest this is actually happening? As in, communities literally rounding up homeless people and dumping them in other parts of the country? The only one who seems to be doing anything like that is Biden and the federal government, as they fly and bus refugees around the country.

No one is going to tell you they're doing it - it's witnesses who are seeing this, and also homeless people who are admitting they were given free one way bus tickets to Austin. In this article, it was a church in Amarillo that offers this program. Free one way tickets from Amarillo to Austin for homeless Amarillo residents. Other churches in Texas, believing their hearts are in the right place, are doing this also.
In this case, a Giddings Police officer drove a homeless man to Austin in a cop car, and Austin Police Union President Cassaday says this is common practice:
I found other articles while googling "homeless people bussed to Austin" but they were behind pay walls so I couldn't open them - maybe you'd have better luck.

Accusing a church of busing people around is much different than accusing an entire community. But in the grand scheme of things, it is a drop in the bucket the size of the ocean.

I'm not accusing an "entire community", although in the case of Giddings, it was their police department that did it. And according to Ken Cassaday, it's common.
I'm accusing the homeless service leadership in other communities that don't want homeless people in their city - whether those are churches or police departments or whathave you, of foisting their problems off on us rather than absorbing them into their own services.
"Entire communities" don't load people on busses. People do.
There should be a free nationwide bus service that buses those with addictions and those in jail to cities like Portland, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles and of course ultra-liberal Denver.
Republican cities, counties and states should give money to those with addiction, those in jail and those who are drug traffickers to relocate to Democratic cities and states on a condition that they never come back and bus them to the ultra-liberal city of their choosing so they can have a new beginning in a new place that would love them very much.
Republicans need to overwhelm Democratic cities with people who don't enjoy the Republican way of life and would fit in much better in ultra-liberal Biden voting cities.
Jails in Republican areas should bus those who don't like a Republican way of life of peace and prosperity to California, New York and Colorado.
If someone has an addiction and needs treatment states like Wyoming and Nebraska should give them two choices either arrest or take a bus to Denver and get treatment in Colorado.
Those who have addiction in North Dakota or Iowa should be bused to hospitals in Minneapolis for treatment with Minnesota money.
Since dems love such individuals so much, they should be overjoyed with such a program.
Yeah, after a decade of having Republican governors, people in Trump loving Oklahoma complain the crime rate is even higher than it is in California and New York.
There already is that. Republican cities dump their problem residents on democrat run cities, in bus loads.
That's why there are disproportionate numbers of homeless addicts in democrat cities. They aren't born there. They're dumped there by cities who don't have the stones to deal with it.
Why you would think that's in any way fair or just, instead of an incredibly weak, lazy, bum your own problems off on someone else response, is anyone's guess.
What??? You mean there are drug addicts and convicts and actual criminals in Republican states??? When did that happen? OP has been beating the drum that Republican areas are pure as the driven snow. Now he tells us of all this rampant addiction and crime. Who knew?
IOW, the OP doesn't want republicans to deal with their own problems, he just wants to unload them all off onto the democrats.
