For those who live in San Francisco and witness homelessness and drug addiction across the city, this article feels deeply out of touch and even insulting.

We need to acknowledge that San Francisco has spent billions over decades on homelessness programs, yet the crisis persists, leaving us to ask: Is this truly the best we can do? Are we investing efficiently, or are we simply maintaining a broken system?

I can't speak for SF, but LA had judges recently come down very hard on housing organizations for having basicslly zero data on where 20 billion dollars went. The judge forced actual audits and homelessness is actually slightly improving as of late 2024.

I would nlt he shocked if similar issues are happening in SF. at best very inefficient spending on minor factors, at medium they may be "fixing homelessness" by paying for more security than actual homes (this was one of the LA factors). Or at the damndest it's hurt outright Embezzlement.
