It’s not a money issue. These cities have all the money they can into reducing “homelessness” aka open air drug markets. It’s a policy issue. Get these guys off the street and tell them to get clean.
The money being spent on "fixing homelessness" is a small fraction of the money that was being spent on the (admittedly terrible) mental health medical facilities that California shut down back in the 1970s.
