The city of San Francisco provides homeless people with $520/month in cash, via an ATM card that refills on the 1st of the month. They give away $24 million a year in cash. It's a genuinely good idea to provide assistance to the homeless, but it should be in the form of Care Not Cash and given away equally across the state. Otherwise, you are funding a drug demand epidemic and likely creating incentives for people with drug problems from around the Bay Area to move here for the cash. I filed a FOIA with the city to get data on the total cash given away. http://www.disclosures.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CAAP-data-for-sunshine-request-March-2019-final-003.xlsx http://www.disclosures.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CAAP-d... http://www.disclosures.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CAPI-data-for-sunshine-request-March-2019-final-003.xlsx http://www.disclosures.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CAPI-d...
