SF is simply too expensive for 10k homeless people (~1% of the population). You could care for a quarter of the homeless population in the US (~145k) for just the shelter-cost of 10k homeless people in SF.
Why should the ones in SF get such special treatment and massive sums of money spent on them over other homeless people? The majority of homeless people in SF aren't from SF, and >30% of the homeless population in SF moved to SF already homeless.
Why should SF residents pay exorbitant amounts of money to house them when it's the most expensive city for housing in the US?
SF already spends > $100 PER month PER resident - ~$300 PER month PER taxpayer on homelessness. The budget has swelled since 2018 - and yet the problem has almost doubled in the same period.
It's almost as if pouring money on the problem doesn't solve it.
