> there are MOUNTAINS more homeless people than most cities fund helping

Last time I checked San Francisco spends something like $50,000 per year per homeless person. It's not a lack of funding in some places.

San fransisco is up shit creek because even a cardboard box on the street fetches a $500 a month rent. The best option for them is probably a bus ticket to a much smaller city and a giant donation to that city's homeless funds, but what homeless person is going to take that offer when the other city might have a climate where you get to die from exposure?
