Well, there is the mild year-round climate thing. Note that the survey in your link was conducted in January.

More importantly, the comment I was replying to was not limited to "homelessness" as the thing where CA was worse than elsewhere. Rent in particular needs to be evaluated relative to local worker earnings.

Don't Florida and Texas ship the people they don't want to California, Illinois, and New York?

Only one of those states has weather suitable for living outside.

Texas and Florida give free bus rides to illegal immigrants who want to travel to self-described “sanctuary cities”. How does that relate to homelessness?
