This isn't quite a million, but a current candidate for San Jose mayor, Matt Mahon, makes the point that the "housing solution" for homelessness is now costing over $100K per new unit. He has a proposal to build them for $8K / unit. Is that realistic? I don't know, but it seems clear that any real solution has to be cheaper than what's being spent now.
