Ok, wow, 183 people in 2022. Consider me corrected. At least they aren’t giving them open bus tickets.

What's wrong with giving them open bus tickets that allow them to decide where they want to go?

It is not wrong in a moral sense: people will go where they have the best chance of survival. The problem is that they all choose to go to the same places (which provide the best odds) and then…it is simply another tragedy of the commons.

Going somewhere they won’t freeze to death overnight is definitely one reason to pick SF / LA / San Diego over many Midwest and East Coast destinations.
