California Spent $17B on Homelessness. It’s Not Working

I suspect if you rounded up all the homeless in California and dumped them in Finland you’d quickly overload their systems.

After all the entire country of Finland has fewer people than the SF metro area (5m vs 7m).

The systems in Finland wouldn't be overloaded if Finland got the SF tax base as well as the homeless problem.

The tax base is correlated with population size.

So is the number of homeless. That's exactly my point.
