Unlikely. Those solutions are generally undertaken at the state level. There's no way to piss off voters quite like moving homeless people out of a city into their suburbs, and if those suburbs are in your state, those people can vote against you. Maybe this works somewhere like NY/NJ where NYC has interstate suburbs...

But more practically, if you give a homeless guy in Manhattan $200 and a bus ticket to NJ, that dude is gonna come back. The distance is sort of necessary for the desired outcome.

Your comment reminds me of the Guardian’s piece on cities busing homeless from a while ago [1]. It was kind of like Defcon.

I think immigrants get more attention than the local homeless population. The new shiny thing vs the “we’ll get to it yeah, just one more day” problem
