San Francisco Asks: Where Have All the Children Gone?

Not sure where you are getting that 50mil is all it takes number. Sf spends much more than that right now.

I believe the cities cost per unit is more then 500k. 50mil of housing in sf would barely make a dent.

Now 50mil in Mississippi would go a long way. Which is why I hope this becomes a national issue where we can use money from sf and use it to address the issue in cheaper places. It also might help the cheaper places economies.

$50M for a marked improvement, independent of current spend. Buy houses, bottom floor public baths/shower and upper floors house 10-100x more people than low density housing. Keep at it and you'll see a difference. Was thinking ~3M for property and not sure what the construction crew wants, maybe $2-3M for 30 units (think dorm style, shared bathroom per floor housing)

Hotspots get 14 day max stay, inland you stay till u you find another place.

Would agree, a sister city with comparable warm weather and you might persuade people to live in other warm areas like Mississippi.

Phone makes elaborating challenging , sorry about any confusion.
