I think we need to give the homeless more money, that should solve the problem.

No. YIMBY has the better plan. We need more housing appropriate to the needs of our people.

Money can't buy you what isn't being built.

the problem being that a large majority of the homeless in SF aren't "your people". They aren't SF locals, they move there for the benefits and the nice weather.

SF has spent over $3B on the homeless over the last 5 years, and the pop continues to skyrocket along with rampant crime and drug use. Money isn’t the issue, at least in this case

The point about closing institutions because of abuse is not wrong. The solution isn't to close them and push the mentally ill out on the street, it's fix the institutions!

Giving money to bureaucracies whose nominal mission is to serve the homeless is not the same as giving money to the homeless.
