The homelessness crisis is. I’m surprised no one yet mentioned it in this long thread. $600 million might be better spent there.

- komali2 7y ago> I’m surprised no one yet mentioned it in this long thread Probably because it's off topic for the thread, which is about the restrictions on private cars on market Street specifically and transit strategies in general, not a pile-on for SF criticism. The money was allocated for transportation improvement. It would be illegal to spend it otherwise. Lots of money is being spent on the homelessness crisis. Shelters are being built. It's being worked on.
- xixixao 7y agoI respectfully disagree. The articles and discussion here specifically talk about the enjoyment of Market street for pedestrians and cyclists. I am not suggesting to use money allocated for transportation on something else. I’m suggesting the money should have been allocated on something else. This article[0] claims that $300M is spent annually on the crisis. The $600M would triple that investment.
