Hell SF pays homeless cash, simply for being homeless. Walk around SF on homeless payday and you’ll see a massive uptick in open use of crack, folks strung out motionless on the sidewalk with needles sticking out of them, and sidewalk slouchers openly sapping on liquor bottles. This is the same city that can’t manage to secure funding to prevent human waste from accumulating on the sidewalks.
I happen to be homeless as well, but I still can’t get behind this concept. I volunteer my time to a national wildlife refuge and expect nothing in return, these folks shit on sidewalks and get cash in hand. If we really want to “solve” homelessness (I don’t think it’s something that needs to be solved, every era of humanity has had some portion of the population living without a solid roof over their heads), the answer is funding more public works programs, not funding delinquency.
