Though I would not use this language, I sort of agree with your point. NYC has many more homeless people than LA has, but does not have California's "homeless issue"--95% of NYC's homeless are "institutionalized" in shelters, vs something like 25% in LA; plus NY has a lot more social services to help them get back on their feet. I think LA should build more shelters.
