1 in 5 homeless people were brought here by, or imediately entered the homeless support system. IIRC, the former outnumber the latter 4 to 1. http://sfgov.org/lhcb/sites/default/files/2015%20San%20Francisco%20Homeless%20Count%20%20Report.pdf http://sfgov.org/lhcb/sites/default/files/2015%20San%20Franc... Why do people exit the homeless services? They exit due to the support providers being unable to handle them, or to make room for more. In former case, they reduce costs and in the latter, they inflate support numbers. Both of these benefit the fiscal health of the service provider, and both dump people on the streets. And the rest of San Francisco get to handle most disturbed, and disturbing, of these poor people. It's hard not to conclude that it's an industry with business model based trafficking in human suffering and abuse of the commons, to the tune of 20% year over year.
