In the six “Safe Sleeping Villages” set up by the city of San Francisco during the pandemic, the cost of maintaining a single tent-camping spot is $5,000 per month, or $61,000 per year — more than it would cost to put each of these people in a market-rate apartment.
The insane costs of running these sleeping “villages,” which only have space for a total of 262 tents spread across the six sites, makes one immediately think of the criticisms that are leveled against the Homeless Industrial Complex, as conservative commentators are eager to call it. The revelation of the pricetag for the tent program — $16.1 million for the year — came at a budget committee meeting on Wednesday, as the Chronicle reports, via Abigail Stewart-Kahn, the interim director of the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing.

San Francisco isn’t any different.
what is involved in a single tent camping spot that makes is so expensive to provide?
The shit-hole is controlled by liberals, all they have to do is raise taxes.
Government wasting other peoples money, like usual.
Super 8 near the Marina….$149 per night.
Tent city @5000/month….$167 per night.
Private enterprise Vs Government.
Classic match up.
the Super 8 will even clean the room every day.
Annon, three meals daily, sanitation and maintenance (which I assume is litter pick and outdoor lighting, maybe snow removal) according to the article.
Cloward-Piven: Drain America’s Resources! Make America weaker any way possible!
All this money spent, including all the hidden costs (pollution, litter, property crimes, health care costs), all because we as a society refuse to institutionalize the mentally incompetent. Almost without exception, every single one of the homeless is mentally compromised, either due to disease or drug abuse or both. We used to lock them up for their own protection and society’s, until “progressives” ruined it for everyone.
Newscum is going to spend up to $28 million to bring in and put up illegals in hotels. The people Trump was making wait in mexico are now being given the royal treatment.
“Apparently, supervisors have been operating under the assumption that this program, like the hotel program for the homeless, would get covered by FEMA reimbursement. It turns out, it will not…”
So it’s OK to waste money, as long as the US taxpayers foot the bill. Unfortunately the Biden administration will reimburse SF. These assholes all need to be “cleaned out”. With extreme predjudice.
I don’t get it. Why are so many people out to destroy America? Most of these people are boomers who grew up learning about the evils of the nazis and communists. They had parents who fought and some died in WWII. We were taught about the great sacrifices they made to bring freedom to the world. We heard about children being told to tattle on their parents or rat out their neighbors.
Have they forgotten what made America great? Or are they just evil bastards who don’t give a damn as long as they can control everything?
Does Jesus expect us to turn the other cheek to these people?
first they create the problem
then they create the solution
and they’ll get federal bailouts to pay for it
and profit from that
tax free profit, too
all with taxpayer’s money
redistribution, from the working man to nan and clan
it does sound like investing in a few tents is a good idea, though- are frachises still available?

I think the problem is democrat and RINOS have agendas. Flood the country with illegals who will vote for them, and become wards of the state, always beholden to them. The press is the propaganda arm of the democrat party. Low Information voters just blindly follow what the press and the dems tell them. No critical thinking skills thanks to 60 years of progressive education.
Annon, spoiled (they learned to appreciate the value of nothing), over-indulged (they were taught to be entitled), no religion (believing in themselves as their only object of devotion and making government their only higher power) would top my list of where the Boomer generation went wrong and those they have raised to be even worse.
And that’s speaking as a Boomer myself.
In the meantime, National Guardsmen are sleeping in parking garages in DC and eating raw chicken.
Here’s an idea: run these vagrants out of town and tell them they better not show their faces there again.
Some how our “free Press” memory holed (George said it) the fact that Frisco paid over $2.5 million in what in reality was child support to mothers of some of his kids. One such mother was his manager’s wife.
The child supports were called “disability payments”!
Hey you NoCal folk – Am I doing a “Compassionate conservative” here?
Mayor Gruesom Nuesom got “memory holed” on this comment
This is INTENTIONAL, it is a revenue source for developers and job security for many. The more homeless the greater the drain on the community in general – but also greater profits for a certain few.
DANCO stays out of amoral industries like this.
follow the money and you will see the connections to government officials
Why don’t they pitch their tents in the local state park?
$20.00 a night last time I checked.
Do they really expect us to believe it costs 5 grand a month to “maintain” a plot big enough for a tent?
Same people who buy $800.00 toilet seats, I would guess.
