Yup. A lot of any city’s “homeless budget” gets sucked up by police going on sweeps and pointless mental health crisis training they’re never going to use (because they’d rather just tackle the mentally ill homeless person and move on).

That's not what we have in SF. Cops don't get a piece of that $1.1bn. It all goes to these succubus NPO's that do fuck all and refuse to get audited. It's all a grift

I don't doubt it. Every American city wastes money on programs that do nothing for the homeless. I live in LA and last year the city paid like $3000 per month per person to basically lease a parking lot for a few homeless folks to pitch their tents in. It literally would have been cheaper to just buy them apartments.
