My point is that you keep making statements that are false. Not only making statements without any evidence (though you do plenty of that) but you make claims that are easily disproved.

Maybe. But apparently very, very rarely to Austin.
Since
A) you haven't been able to produce any examples of such.
B) if it happened with any great frequency, way more of the homeless in Austin would be from outside Austin.
We don't have a homeless problem in Austin because of "1 way buses". Our problem is homegrown.
For there to be a "trend", it would have to happen at least somewhat often.

Again with the lies.
That's 230 people to _All of Texas_.
And there's a substantial and fundamental difference between "buy someone a ticket because you don't have homeless services, so you send them to a city that does" (your claim) and helping them relocate "where they have family or friends that can help them find housing" (the program referenced in the article).
Both NYC and SF have homeless services.
