Former Supervisor: Why Money Cannot Fix San Francisco’s Problems

Former San Francisco supervisor Tony Hall explains the city’s issues as man-made problems. With over 5,000 different nonprofits doing business with the City of San Francisco, there is no monitoring of the services they provide, nor of how the money is being spent. “There are people making money on the homeless problem, the way it is today,” said Mr. Hall.

“The city has been mismanaged. We are spending far in excess of $100,000 per homeless person. Some of that money finds its way back to the elected officials in campaign donations, and that’s the problem”, said Mr. Hall.

Mr. Hall also explained why San Francisco’s budget is some 5 times the budget of San Jose, a neighboring city of similar size, and pointed out the $2 billion currently allocated to homeless services in the city of San Francisco.
