Because they care. In the USA, (non-resident) I find that almost every bad thing usually has a really nice, positive flipside. SF spends so much on the homeless that, ironically, it attracts them. In fact, Las Vegas has sent homeless there: http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/09/11/2602391/san-franc... http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/S-F-spends-record... shows that $241 million was spent - that's so very much for a metro area of 8 million people. In a country of 300 million, you only need a very slight incentive and things get weird, and the SF attitude to homeless, the food they give out, the shelters, the climate, all encourage homeless to move there or, worse, get sent there by less scrupulous states. I am never sure if this is a really nice or a really bad thing for SF. I'm kinda thinking both. |
