I used to live in SF near a camp at 10th and mission. I saw the homeless daily; it's very sad to see and people just walk around them. I moved out of SF because it is so damn expensive and I didn't have to be there.
$275 million is a lot of money. Instead of trying to help the homeless survive in SF, why not help them relocate somewhere more affordable. There's lots of space in the country and almost all of them are cheaper than SF. 275 million goes a very long way to help people resettle and their quality of life would surely go up.
Disclosure: To be clear, I did just what I'm suggesting: I relocated due to the high cost to somewhere more affordable for me. I've met many others over the years that have as well.
- xienze 9y agoGiving the homeless a one-way ticket to the city of their choice is a very effective homeless removal strategy that a lot of cities employ. Guess where a lot of homeless people choose to go. SF would literally be paying to ship the Horne less away to a city that will simply ship them back.
