And a couple overseas. I've seen homeless at a couple of small (general aviation) airports.

Actually there's probably some truth to that. We never had a "homeless problem"*, but we were a considerable distance (7-10 miles) from where a good chunk of the homeless population existed.
Most US airports are not in the city nor do they have public transportation readily available. That makes it much, much harder to be attractive to the homeless.
