I dunno...
Cali is a tough place to live. A lot of people are living at the very edge of homelessness. I don't think it's smart to live that way, but I can see easily how someone who plays by the rules and doesn't make horrible decisions can end up homeless...
Heck, if you have a rent controlled apartment... and something happens to lose it? A lot of people living in these apartments could never afford to live at market rate. They are now homeless and have zero chance of being approved to live in any apartment on the market.
Now, I've never understood why they don't leave the area at that point and find somewhere more affordable... but it happens apparently.
