I just thought of something, but it's too late to edit the above comment. In San Francisco they have a sanctioned open air drug market. It doesn't make much sense if you're trying to get these people off drugs, but if you are trying to preserve the homeless people in their current patterns of dysfunction as clients for the bloated city government and provide a jobs program for social workers and government contractors, it makes tons of sense!

And that’s exactly what happens. What could you do if you gave every homeless in SF a cut of the 300MM? They’d all be fed and clothed and able to rend low income housing. But that’s not what happens. Some agency is spun up to manage the funds and sucks 90% of them away to pay for op ex.
