If you read that article it talks about how some of that money is spent on prevention so it's a bit unfair to just use existing homeless as the denominator- it's still an obscene amount of money per person. So saying it's "totally incorrect" is a bit of a stretch.
San Francisco absolutely has a Homeless industrial complex that isn't trying to solve the problem but just keep their cash flowing.
- danenania 6y agoThe article calculates that the actual amount spent per "visible homeless person" was ~$3800 per year in 2018. The majority was spent on prevention. It seems pretty fair to say that being off by 10x is "totally incorrect".
