Of course treatment is better, but privileged Californians see the state "coercing" an addict to go to rehab as evil as well. That's why the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on homelessness rarely goes to the people who need it most.
- DubiousPusher 6y agoGenuinely asking, how much more does California spends on homelessness per capita than the average state? What services are offered that aren't offered elsewhere? If these services aren't reaching people where is the money going instead?
- Aunche 6y agoThe majority of the homelessness budget goes towards subsidized housing and small, but still significant fraction is spent on temporary shelters. According to this source, only 7% of SF's budget is spent on street outreach, which is what most people think about. https://sf.curbed.com/2019/12/19/21027974/san-francisco-homeless-decade-2010s-kositsky-navigation-center-friedenbach https://sf.curbed.com/2019/12/19/21027974/san-francisco-home...
