Just some of those espresso machines are $10K [1] and $25K [2] each.
Freezer is $24K.
Of course, all these are "new" prices.

If there is a glut, sometimes you’d end up with just price per lb. (Often just a couple dollars per).
They can take a road trip over to Texas.
I assume you're referring to the "Twitter Files" revelations* there? Because that showed nothing of the sort, did it?
If you consider interfering with an election to be non political, I’m not going to bother arguing with you.
Can you point to some examples where one side (I'm assuming you mean Democrats) were handled favourably and the other not favourably? Outside of ToS violations, obviously.
That fact was public knowledge.
Did the twitter files reveal anything more specific about why they suppressed Trump's account?
It seems to me that merely calling them "Twitter files" is very effective at evoking and implying possibly more than what they actually contain.
Which I think is the standard definition - suggesting Twitter have made up their own is a bit snarky?
If by "suppressed" you mean "suspended for repeated violations of ToS even though they'd protected him for months by saying he was POTUS and therefore newsworthy and should be granted much more leeway than other accounts", sure.
There’s no reason for the whole situation. The company is in a bad spot now.
It amazes me that the world's richest man was able to buy this company with a bunch of borrowed money, and saddle the company with the debt rather than himself. If he actually cared about Twitter's financial health, you have to figure he would have bought it outright. He has the money.
The cost of security, social services, policing, and hygiene related issues (it’s an office not a home) would seem substantial.
Some locals not far from me tried doing that with an abandoned hotel. It was a mess of crime drugs and etc in the end.
Any attempt to do something like you’re proposing in a nice space not explicitly setup for the purpose is going to go pretty badly quite quickly.
Most people don't want to get assaulted, robbed, or infected with disease/pests.
That is a reason why empty office space doesn't solve anything. There's already plenty of of it without Twitter HQ. Running a temporary shelter is more about the logistics/support than it is the physical space.
Someone with a knife requires 4-5 people to subdue minimum, etc.
Someone with an out of control dog will cause serious, potentially fatal injuries before anyone can react.
That people often get these things and want them to protect themselves just makes the problem more intractable, because when you add drugs and mental illness into the mix, the people are impossible to predict too.
Empty office space definitely doesn’t solve it. But doubling staffing at the homeless shelters won’t either.
I used to live nearby Twitter HQ and that description is unfortunately accurate to my experience, of the majority of the homeless who spent time at Van Ness and Market Street SF.
HOUSING is what is needed, for sure though. Just be serious about it, and not "diamond-mine trust-fund hyper vigilant ego-abusive maniac" about it.
