I've noticed that California seems to have a disproportionately large number of homeless people compared to other states. I'm curious to understand why this is the case. What factors are driving this trend? Is it the weather, job opportunities, social services, or something else entirely?

    Housing experts attribute this disparity to the high cost of living in California.

    Specifically, the median rent for a one-bedroom unit in California is $2,200 per month.

    In contrast, the median rent for a similar unit in Texas is $1,200 per month.

    The per-capita homelessness rate in California is five times higher than in Texas.
