San Trancisco gives free tents to homeless. Each tent costs $61,000!!!!

Thankfully, the government knows that most people don't have the inclination to take it upon themselves to donate to charities, so they it themselves and fund it with the taxes they collect from us.

Bullshit. They rob from the earners to redistribute the money they forcibly extort from earners to non-earners. That's not even enough, so they raid Social Security and borrow trillions to fund their pandemic of pandering.

We passed that point a long time ago, you moron. When you give freebies to the homeless, you attract more homeless from all over the country.

Maybe not Cali Leftists in general, the San Fran kind of Leftist is a special breed of stupid so it's definitely possible, and even probable. You have to remember, this is a city that hands out "poop" maps but doesn't crack down on dedicating in public, that won't turn over illegal alien felons who have committed heinous crimes like rape or murder to ICE because they think it's wrong to deport them. A city that's made public nudity legal. How much crazy do you need to believe they'd do more crazy?

Agreed on San Francisco. This is how the Pasadena police handle the mentally ill - they shoot them several times and then bury them. The shooting was deemed a righteous execution because she had a BB gun.

deeper dive:

of course it would seem reasonable that any recipient of public aide should be drug tested regularly. however, since "society" is just the way gangsters launder money, and drugs are a cash cow, this will never happen, even if it should.

bleeding the block on the 3rd......

Unfortunately there’s no easy answer. A large majority of the homeless are mentally ill or drug addicts. Laws prevent putting the mentally ill in homes against their wishes.

The money is a real concern because it’s not an unlimited well. We have spent hundreds upon hundreds of millions on a problem only getting worse. No one is suggesting don’t spend any money. But at a certain point the spending almost creates incentives for people to come.

Ultimately the goal is to get more people into rehab with an opportunity to get their lives back together. We have not been able to do that well.

Another problem that must be dealt with, at some point, is the runaway inflation of real estate and RENT!

Wages are not keeping up with inflation! The cost of putting a roof over one's head is pricing many people out of the market.

It's not just drug addicts and the mentally disabled out there without a roof over their head. Sure that is a lot of it, but I know people that became homeless due to a divorce. I have seen people become homeless just because they were laid-off beyond their own control. I have seen people become homeless just because of a medical condition.

Here in Texas, many are becoming homeless- just because their homes or apartments were flooded due to the recent Ice Storm- and are now unlivable. I am talking about many thousands of people are being forced out of their apartments as they are either being razed or repaired. THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO GO!

Many people are now homeless because their credit is ruined. And many people's credit went bad because of an illness, lay-off, or divorce!

There is more to it than DRUG ADDICTION and Mental Illness- WHICH YOU ADMITTED! THANKS!

That's just the way things are.

Don't like it?

Tough shit.

Go live in some Middle Eastern shit hole like Iraq or Afghanistan.

Maybe you'd be happier with the way they do things.

Just your standard democrat corruption. Every democrat who voted for this will get a huge kickback from the company that supplies these tents.

It's not the cost for each tent, dummy. More like the cost of an urban campground for numerous people.

"San Francisco is paying $16.1 million to shelter homeless people in 262 tents placed in empty lots around the city where they also get services and food — a steep price tag that amounts to more than $61,000 per tent per year.

The city has created six tent sites, called “safe sleeping villages,” since the beginning of the pandemic to get vulnerable people off crowded sidewalks and into places where they have access to bathrooms, three meals and around-the-clock security. The annual cost of one spot in one site is 2½ times the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco."
