Libraries are public services. Subways are public services. Parks are public spaces. If you are so progressive you would be interested in expanding social service spending to help people out of homelessness. This would solve your (personal) problem with homelessness.



San Francisco already spends half a billion dollars per year on homeless services, which comes to 50k-75k per homeless individual per year. Is there reason to believe that more spending would actually fix homelessness, when most other cities spend less and have less of a homeless problem?
