How can we find the actual "expected value" of the rules in SF? They seem to be a mixed bag, even if we discount people abusing them. I hear about roughly the same number of good, well intended but silly, and evil / gaming the numbers. (like forced removal of camps or just making it someone else's problem https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2017/dec/...)

It seems like the system can help some people, but the same system is really broken too. If we just compare it to other cities it doesn't seem like the expected value is very high. (unless we somehow show that SF has a high ratio of abusers of the system)
