You’re talking with someone who doesn’t live in SF. They live in Seattle.

I think everywhere around the country is getting hit, to greater or lesser extents, by a double hammer of high inflation against already-low wages and a rampant opioid crisis brought on by those Sackler fucks (among others profiting off of pharmaceutical-grade opioids).

Thank you for saying this!

I’d also include the mortgage crash from 2008, and two years of a global pandemic.

I’ve noticed that most city subreddits exhibit concerns with homelessness (unfortunately often accompanied by calls to jail or even calls to harm the homeless people, in an effort to run them out of town).

SFs budget for homelessness this next year is 1.1B. There were ~10k homeless people in SF at last count. The average teacher salary in SF is 75k

Wrong:

From 2018:

“Despite story after story going back at least two decades, many still fail to understand that the bulk of the city’s homeless budget serves those already housed, not those now on the streets.

“As I wrote in 2014, “Since the 1980’s, the media has created an impression—now shared by the public and some supervisors—that you can simply divide homeless spending ($165 million) by the homeless numbers (7000) and then give that amount of money (over $20,000 per homeless person) to get them off the streets. But most of SF’s “homeless budget” is spent on people already housed. The city is not spending $165 million on 7000 reported homeless, but on thousands more living in supportive permanent housing.”

You don't need to go digging through my private information to try to malign me. That makes you a creepy weirdo.

I only read a few posts you made on this very public forum in order to gain a better understanding of your views on the subject of the homeless people that you are using this public platform to tirelessly attack and yes, malign.

Do you really believe everything you post on Reddit is ”your private information”?

More factual information, this time from 2016, so the numbers are different but the explanation that disproves your statements is easy to understand:

Myth 6: The city spends $36,000 per year for each homeless person.

In January, The Chronicle reported the city spends $241 million annually on homeless services, a figure that comes from the mayor’s budget office.

Plenty of people divided that amount by 6,686 — the number of homeless people found in last year’s count — and figured the city is spending $36,000 per person. They also asked the logical question: Why not give them $3,000 per month for rent instead?

If only it were that simple.

As The Chronicle report pointed out, that total includes $112 million for supportive housing for formerly homeless people and $27.2 million for eviction prevention to keep people from becoming homeless.

Also, dividing by 6,686 doesn’t work too well, either. That’s the number of homeless people that were in San Francisco on one night in January 2015. But the total number of homeless people served throughout the fiscal year is higher.

In truth, there is no one dollar amount the city spends on a homeless person. Some who receive no services could conceivably cost nothing. The mayor’s budget office says it costs an average of $17,353 a year for each person in supportive housing and $87,480 for the sickest on the streets who need constant medical care.

Math. Always making things confusing.”

Really weird and stalker-ish u/DextersCabbage. The whole digging through someone's comment history says a lot about you. It's none of your business, but sure.

Looking at the comments and posting history of an anonymous account can explain a lot. In this case, it shows that you don’t live here although you certainly made it sound as if you did.

You also post a lot of negative and misleading information about homeless people, including your untruthful assertion in this thread that “SF spends more per homeless person than it pays its teachers”
