You’d think it was a refugee camp, or someplace in a deep recession, or that lost a war.

We spent $100k per homeless resident of SF. That is the highest level ever spent anywhere. The problem is NOT the money in the region or a lack of willingness to spend money, it is the unwillingness to use that money to building homes and shelters.

uh... where are you seeing that we're spending $100K per resident? Of the $241M in 2016, half is on permanent supportive housing for ~6,000 units w ppl inside them, the other pt is on the 7K actual homeless. http://hsh.sfgov.org/overview/budget/ …

I'm including in this inefficient healthcare spending on homeless as well as public safety spending related to our mismanagement of the issue

This is only a fraction of the cost of medical care for these folks. But what that chart clearly shows is that our spending on the homeless has skyrocketed while the population hasn’t and the impacts of spending have been limited, right?

we are not spending $100K per capita on people experiencing homelessness in SF. Full stop. But there is a category known as "High Users of Multiple Services" which consists of 130 people who would hit that range. https://www.sfdph.org/dph/hc/HCCommPublHlth/Agendas/2017/June%2020/Transitions%20Overview%20to%20HC%2017-06%20DRAFT%20ver%20170614.pdf …

We’re talking about different ways of thinking about what we’re spending.

If this is the logic that you're using, then the budget should really be $120M instead of $240M, because the part that is spent on permanent supportive housing is really "low-income affordable housing" not "homelessness"

Again, depends on your perspective but I think this has devolved into an unproductive discussion on an issue of which we substantive agree.
