Apparently, it's a really difficult problem that nobody has really solved.
Yes, San Francisco is wealthy. And Monte Carlo is wealthy too with Lamborghinis and Ferraris. Why does MC not have a rampant "homeless problem"? Well, if a homeless person tried to lay down a blanket to sleep on the sidewalk across from the iconic casino, he's going to be rounded up by MC police. As far as I can tell, MC doesn't have a homeless shelter so I'm not sure where the MC police takes the vagrants. San Francisco police obviously do not remove all homeless people from the sidewalk. And nobody is suggesting SF emulate what MC does.
Can SF spend money on housing for homeless? Multiple cities have tried this with mixed results[1] ... poop in the stairways, drugs, etc.
Which city in the world has the best homeless program (especially dealing with mentally ill homeless) and what do they do differently?

- umanwizard 7y agoPresumably vagrants in Monte Carlo would just be deported. I doubt there are any actual citizens of Monaco who are homeless.
