the gulf coast and utah, these mayors say we didn't even know they were coming. >> they had no idea. >> laura: and bringing lots of problems, tell us about it. >> it's a sad story. i listen to the mayor talk there, i think to myself, we need to struggle with this. one city in the entire country that has addressed the homeless population honestly, and that is the city of san diego, and they are the only city that is having a significant in homelessness. what is the one thing they have done? they have stopped looking at housing and started looking at the mental health disaster that is playing out on our streets. this is the story, the soda store, as we call it, this program where people are given a year of rent and left to go wherever they want. it's one of the saddest chapters in the homeless story. it makes very appealing sense. we're going to give it a year of rent, go wherever you want to. yes, if housing was the issue, this is the perfect experiment
