There’s a common refrain that “SF doesn’t spend enough money on the homeless, because they are rich and greedy etc etc. if only there was some compassion!!!!” In fact SF spends as much money on the homeless as they spend on the streets and parks. This shows that throwing money at the problem hasn’t helped.

how about measuring the effectiveness of the programs using that money, and improving them at least even if you want to keep at the same budget? why is bad acceptable when you spend 300M a year?

Do you have evidence that the city council is not measuring the effectiveness of that money, and improving methodologies?

If they are, then it looks like they are pretty bad at what they are doing. And since its a public program all measurements should be public as well, by definition.
