Cities like LA, SF pay more than $2000 every month for each tent space and spend almost a billion dollar a year on emergency responses.
Don’t think $5 tent is gonna change anything.
The municipality pays 2000$ a month per tent space? What does that mean exactly? Like paying for increased medical services/policing, or lost revenue from lowered property values?
Its actually $5000 a month and that is the total cost of operating the tent site including 24-hour security, bathrooms, maintenance, and three meals per day, divided by the number of tents at the site. https://sfist.com/2021/03/04/insanely-it-is-costing-san-fran...
the City and County of Los Angeles also spent $700 million dollars on ONE public school rebuild.. it might have been an elementary school with an associated building IIR
