Your post is literally the first instance of the word "conspiracy" in this entire thread.
No one said "it doesn't happen in Austin".
There isn't any evidence that it happens frequently or is in any way a contributor to the overall problem we're having in Austin.
And yes, 2 examples in 5 years isn't evidence of such. *
What evidence we do have in fact suggests the opposite (that a supermajority of the homeless in Austin are from Austin).
*Actually 0 examples, of the original claim of "cities buying bus tickets".
Again, it's probably happened at least once, but we've given you days and there's still 0 concrete examples of it happening.

you are not engaging with my main point. you are nitpicking ie "actually it's 2016, not 2017" "you're the first person to use the word conspiracy" "we have some people from out of state but they're not a supermajority" this means that you are either very poor at arguing your point or you have none.
Let me make this easy for you. I will make a very clear, broad statement that I think reflects the points I have been trying to make in this thread:
I think that homeless people are bought one way tickets all the time in this country. I think the general trend is cities and towns that don't have robust homeless services send them to cities that do. I think Austin turned a corner within the last ten years and ended up being moreso on the receiving end of these tickets. I think this dynamic is obviously additive by nature and thusly would strain the services and funds dedicated to our cities homeless. Here are some relevant news clippings.
here is an article from homeless directors on both coasts saying they move homeless people into texas and specifically austin. one of them says they have relocated 230 people to austin since 2015. also quotes our mayor as saying such practices are an "urban myth" (i'm not talking to you right now, mr adler, am I?)
