San Francisco Needs an Immediate Independent Audit

[Teallaura]

And probably a take over, assuming California can do that. Nearly 8000 homeless and a combined spending that equals more than $37,000/homeless person - how the heck do they have anyone still on the streets? Instead, they have lost tourism and conventions because they have so many homeless on the streets!

That money isn't getting to where it's needed - there's no way that those numbers don't reflect serious misappropriation if not out and out graft.

$37,000 and you can't house these people?!

I'm fully aware that homelessness comes with a lot more than just financial issues - but that's an astounding amount being put into the system - cities with only a fraction of that don't have people sleeping on sidewalks and pooping in the street. Something is very wrong in San Francisco.

Before tossing in more money, the state government needs to act - send in the auditors and investigators to find out where all that money is going. If somehow it's not being diverted, good - now find out why it isn't working (yeah, yeah, we can already guess - but be fair and prove it). If it is being diverted, criminal cases need to be brought, and the government needs to be taken over.

When I was growing up vagrants we arrested and jailed. We did not have a homeless problem. Now we have a number of homeless camps around my city.

Most of the money is probably being sucked up by "administrative fees" which is an intentionally vague budget line item that can mean anything from employee salaries and office supplies to "training seminars" at a high-dollar tropical resort. That's usually how these things work.

Sounds like money is being wasted somewhere.

Says the guy with a phony PhD who doesn't bother reading original sources.

Jesus was, in fact, apolitical. The closest he ever got to making a political statement was when he said, "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God." Jesus advocated righteousness on a personal level whereas Marx advocated abdicating personal responsibility to the state. Marxism and Christianity are ideological opposites.

Jesus can spell better than that.... Just sayin'...

"Ill-nourished" and "red head" come from where, exactly? I'm not even gonna get started on how ridiculous 'alien' is...

Seer is wrong - this is worse.

Ironic how those who proclaim that Jesus was a left-wing socialist are often the same ones who refuse to believe in him.
