> do you ask them to leave the city because there isn't anywhere they can afford to live? I would expect most people in that situation to make that call on their own. Personally, if my choices were to live in a homeless shelter in SF or in an apartment in Cleveland, I'd head east. But the point is that the City does have a lot of programs to help people who have a job and family in SF but can't afford market-rate housing. Someone in that situation has many options, of which leaving the City is only one. Someone lying in a pool of vomit on Tehama St. waiting for his fourth SFFD pickup of the day doesn't have any of those options.
