but this sounds to me like the author is inviting us to solve SF homelessness using technology. Technology can be enormously useful in this space. I am homeless and I make money online in part by blogging, in part by doing freelance work. You want to do some good in San Francisco in this space, let me suggest you start a San Francisco version of The San Diego Homeless Survival Guide -- listing important resources like where to get free food if you need it, as well as free electricity and wifi -- and then also give away free tablets to homeless people in the area. http://sandiegohomelesssurvivalguide.blogspot.com/ I used the internet to research my next city and moved from San Diego more than a year ago and my quality of life has been better ever since. My health is better, my income is trending up and if I can come up with $7.5 to $10k in the next few weeks, I am planning to buy a house. Technology can do wonder to provide gig work, low cost access to information that is valuable on the street and help homeless people become digital nomads and start soling their own problems and pulling themselves up by the bootstraps -- instead of becoming trapped in shitty homeless programs that you treat you worse than an animal. |
