Let’s say 2 people per tent. That’s a population of 500. Let’s say there’s 1 security person per 10 homeless person @50k/year. That’s 2.5 million/year. Let’s say you need triple that for round the clock coverage. That’s still only 7.5 million. Let’s say food and restrooms eat up the rest of the budget. Are the homeless a prison-like demographic where you need a security guard every 10 people for order? Heck, even prisons don’t have this level of security. This feels like a grift for funneling money to security firms that hire off duty cops/ex cops for their services. The city should just hire the homeless directly for providing their own security services. At least that way the money would also be going into the community that needs it.
