Excerpts:
In the six “Safe Sleeping Villages” set up by the city of San Francisco during the pandemic, the cost of maintaining a single tent-camping spot is $5,000 per month, or $61,000 per year - more than it would cost to put each of these people in a market-rate apartment.
San Francisco counts about 6,400 people as homeless, although that doesn’t include people living out of their cars, or the thousands who flit from temporary shelters to relative’s residences to friends and neighbors — anywhere they can find a place to lay their body down. Many of these people have jobs that don’t pay them enough to live within 50 miles of San Francisco.
“But we really need to dive deep to see if this a sustainable model… without any federal reimbursement.”
Austin, Portal, San Francisco, Seattle, etc., are all liberal shit holes that are ravaged by a homeless crisis...and it's not from a lack of available resources.
