Admittedly the poster's complaint was about Silicon Valley, not SF. I have looked at the homelessness statistics in Silicon Valley and the vast majority here actually lived here before becoming homeless. You don't usually see homeless people in most of the valley because they tend to stay out of sight by the creeks or other out of the way areas, but you do see them in downtown San Jose and to a lesser extent downtown Palo Alto. I don't know the budget for homeless spending down here in Silicon Valley, but I doubt it is that high.
