Ohh come on! Yes, some of these questions are relevant, theoretically. > Why build something if people won't use it? We know some people will use it since the ones already built are full. If we look at other cities - eg. NYC we see the ratio sheltered to unsheltered are different from SF. The difference? Availability of shelter. SF has hundreds of beds and thousands of homeless. Surely a few hundred more beds would be used. > Should there be some that are drug friendly and some that aren't? The article illustrated that the majority of the growth was with people that are not drug users, so this is a big issue, but you can exclude drug users and still make a difference without dealing with this question. (but maybe you should find a way to help them too). > This assumes they want to find a job though. Surely some do. If not, they're still a person and we should help them.
