“Humboldt ‘dismayed’ with SF homeless bus program. Turns out they bus people here too” A perfect example of the “musical chairs” theory

>“We are concerned that providing bus tickets to other jurisdictions without verifying access to housing, family support or employment does not alleviate homelessness; it simply shifts the person to another county,”

Says Humboldt county

Except they also do the exact same thing

>But new data obtained by The Standard from Humboldt’s own relocation program show that the county’s homeless people were bused to San Francisco on four occasions between October and March. Since August 2023, Humboldt has also sent homeless people to other Bay Area locations, such as San Rafael, Napa County, Santa Cruz, and Petaluma.

This quote sums it up well

>“The No. 1 answer to homelessness is to make them disappear. Then mayors write letters back and forth: ‘Stop sending your people here.’

Easy solution at least, just set up a bus system that goes back and forth.
