While California wags its finger at President Trump and blames him for all the ills of their own making, a new Housing and Urban Development report identifies the state as the skunk at the garden party. According to Axios, emphasis mine:
Homelessness in the U.S. has risen for a third consecutive year, driven by a spike in California, the Department of Housing and Urban Development said in a new report.
By the numbers: The annual HUD single-night survey, conducted in January and released Friday found homelessness increased to 567,715, up 2.7% on 2018.
Homelessness has decreased in 29 states and Washington, D.C. since 2018 and increased in 21 states.
The number of veterans listed as homeless dropped 2.1% and homelessness among children declined 4.8%.
Overall, the number of people listed as homeless has fallen nearly 11% since 2010.
California is the state that has erased everyone else's gains, even the ones with small rises. This would be the same California whose smarmy governor, Gavin Newsom, blamed President Trump for his state's atrocious record, and insisted it was nothing to do with him or his one-party blue state which excludes all Republicans.

They own this, and not only do they own this, they stick out for their failure. Fox News's Charles Payne sums up the big picture neatly:
