> $60k per tent site per year...It would be cheaper to rent apartments at current market rates, even in San Francisco.

That's $5k per month. Absolute best case, that's two one-bedroom apartments, so 6 people? Surely there are more than 6 people at the tent site.

At those prices some consultant/contractor/vendor must be getting outrageously rich.
