Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
Just your standard democrat corruption. Every democrat who voted for this will get a huge kickback from the company that supplies these tents.
San Trancisco gives free tents to homeless. Each tent costs $61,000!!!!

S.F. pays $61,000 a year for one tent in a site to shelter the homeless. Why?

What would you expect from the people who spend almost $3 Billion on a bus station, that is not even very functional (TransBay Transit Center)?
According to them money grows on trees, and the very poor quality of their work does not matter.

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?

I’d like to see these $61k tents lol.
Why don’t they just start handing out RV’s?
The demand is that everyone who is unhoused be given an apartment to live in free or nearly free, for as long as the bum wants to stay.
Nearly nothing is to be asked of them in return.

The thread title is misleading as usual out of one of the biggest bullshitters on JPP.
The $61,000 figure represents not the purchase cost of the tent itself, but rather the annual cost to administer the program divided by the number of tents.

And that total cost of $16 million, is a fraction of the annual $300 million the city spends on homelessness.
But of course to money-grubbing jackass right-wingers, spending tax dollars on human beings is a big waste because to these shit-bags, nothing is more important than money.
So typical.

TDAK aside, this issue is the homeless budget continues to increase and the problem only gets worse. Come walk the streets here and there is nothing compassionate going on. We spend more and more and nothing changes. Our current structure is not sustainable nor compassionate.

OK. Fine.
So what do we do?
Just give up and let them fend for themselves, twisting in the wind?
Nothing is ever going to be perfect and having a tent in the safety of a tent village is better than sleeping on a bench in a park or in a doorway.
The money? Secondary concern.

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.
S.F. pays $61,000 a year for one tent in a site to shelter the homeless. Why?
San Trancisco 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 Trancisco.

San Trancisco offered permanent housing to homeless people - 70% said no
As San Trancisco expands a shelter-in-place hotel program that leases rooms for vulnerable homeless people during the pandemic, the city has run into a roadblock: Some residents find where they’re staying more appealing than another permanent option.
Shelter-in-place hotels, opened during the pandemic for vulnerable homeless individuals, offer free private rooms with bathrooms and three meals a day at no cost to residents.
In contrast, a newly available permanent supportive housing option in a recently renovated hotel has communal bathrooms and charges 30% of a resident’s income as rent.
So far, around 70% of shelter-in-place hotel residents offered spots at the refurbished 232-unit Granada Hotel, purchased with $45 million from the state last year, turned down spots, Abigail Stewart-Kahn, of the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, told supervisors last week.
“We have experienced a decline rate of people living in shelter-in-place hotels at a rate never experienced before in San Trancisco when offered permanent supportive housing,” Stewart-Kahn said.

You also can't force people to "improve" their lives by forcing them to conform to what society's standard of "normal" is.
How much is it worth to live in a society in which compassion for fellow humans remains a top priority?
Nobody is starving to death or doing without things they need because of the money being spent sheltering the homeless.
The conservative right tends to fancy themselves "good Christians" and one of the hallmarks of Christianity, is doing whatever one can to help the poor and less fortunate.
Conservatives should therefore, be more than willing to take on a higher tax burden, especially the wealthier ones, in order to continue to provide food and shelter for the homeless and the poor.
One cannot be a true Christian while being against spending whatever it takes to help these people.
They cannot have it both ways.

I'll also acknowledge my own conundrum here. I think the war on drugs in the U.S. has been a failure yet there are places in San Francisco where it's like a Farmers Market of open drug selling. There are lines in the street of people buying drugs. Addicts lay all over the City streets.
It's not good and its not compassionate.
