It’s not that easy and having money isn’t the problem here. If we could pay off the homeless to stop being homeless, you have to believe that we’d have already done that.

SF spends ~60k per homeless person per year (maybe more now). It’s clearly not money that is the limiting factor here.

That 60k per year seems to come from a small program where they're spending 60k per year for a tent, food and washrooms - twice the median cost of a one-bedroom apartment.
