in order to end homelessness, the city government needs to form a strategy and manage it, with the entire budget, centrally. a good place to start is more temporary shelter. once we have (safe, clean) shelter, we can talk about rehousing.

You imply they have the means, and not merely the intent and funding. A lot more than $250M is invested in making San Francisco eat this problem.

This is a failure by NIMBY's and the Bay Area g'ment failing to address housing. Plenty of land to build and plenty of capital to build houses. G'ment should focus on transportation and infrastructure to support growth. Or hard line stance and say "no more, go elsewhere".

Strongly suggest to follow the Finnish example: They build houses for the homeless. Great success!

2 years ago I ran out of money while in SF on business. Spent ~30 days between the various services the city funds before I heard about the Homeward Bound program. No shelter/service I used before benefitted from the program. The one that told me about it did.
