New York City spends about $30k per homeless and you still cannot walk a block without seeing one.
It's not about the money...

- jon_richards 8y agoIf New York was more efficient with that money and took half the homeless people off the streets, they'd be paying about 60k per homeless person.
- SolaceQuantum 8y agoIIRC New York City actually has higher rates of housing/sheltering homeless than most other cities in the USA. However, due to population size + density it would still be possible to see the homeless people who refuse/cannot access housing fairly regularly if one lives in or commutes to the densest areas. (For example, I've only ever seen homeless people in the heart of manhattan. I commute to Astoria and Flushing and long island fairly often and hardly ever/never see homeless people there.)
