I promise I'm not posting this to rattle your cage, MagiK, but... The extreme amount of homeless folks in CA with mental isssues is, as far as I know, a result of Reagan. In an effort to balance the budget when he was governor, he closed a large number of state-run mental treatment wards, resulting in an overnight turning-out of thousands of homeless. Now, I haven't fully researched this but that was the general wisdom and history I was told by Californians.

On the bright side, at least it's reasonably warm in CA. Which may explain the high number of indigents there. I know I would try to migrate there if I had no home.
