Really? That’s more money than we use for the unemployed here in Finland. And they get healthcare, food and house.

SF is expensive for sure, but that expensive? Where is the money going to?

a Rube Goldberg machine of non-profits and inefficient, non-transparent spending leaving little to help the plight of the less fortunate.

I remember an article from somewhere in the valley that they considered to support families in need with some money for housing. Family in need was defined as yearly household income below $250,000.
