Looking online, it seems like there are around 7000 homeless in SF. 300 million is over 42k per person per year.

Housing is certainly the problem. If there was a glut of housing, the city could just hand out 30k per person, save a lot of money, and the homeless could just rent a place. With the remainder of the money, people could get back on their feet. Give people back hope.

Have you ever tried heroin?


i'm sure it's easier to get off heroin when you're already off the streets


Crack and meth prices would skyrocket, and people wouldn't use the money to get an apartment.
