@michelletandler @kane Yeah the $102k is just counting SF dept of homelessness & supportive housing spending.
As a comp - the median household income in the US is $84k.

@MariaDavidson @kane It's more like 500k when you include street cleaning, police, fire and health.
None of that is in the $120.

SF spends $102k a year per homeless person.
It spends $20k a year per resident.
SF spends more per homeless person than the 10 largest US cities combined spend per resident.
Maria Davidson@MariaDavidson
5 of the 10 cities that spend the most per homeless person are in California. SF alone spends more per homeless person than NY and Portland combined.

let's actually just do the math here, because I do think it's important. if hasan piker is not your enemy. and hasan piker wants... literally... me and everyone I know to die. you are... what to me, exactly?
English
It’s a trap and it’s complete.
Every week Hasan Piker gains celebrity and provokes. Every week the new Democrats are in photos and op-eds with him.
Total takeover and now inseparable

In a new NYT interview, Hasan Piker says that many “understand” Luigi Mangione killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson because Thompson himself was guilty of “social murder”

Only 4 states have fully funded public pension liabilities in the US.
Tennessee is doing the best at 104%.
Illinois is doing the worst at only 52%.
Where will the money to pay these promised pensions come from?
English
@FavaMandies @thehill That’s crazy. SF also spends ~75% per resident on policing
English
@MariaDavidson @thehill Good piece. The link between paying more taxes, and improved services, is broken. A micro-example: San Francisco's library budget is 3X that of larger neighbor San Jose's an hour south. But there's little difference in the systems.
English
Where did all the money go?
7/10 states that spend the most per capita lost people to other states since 2020.
10/10 states that spend the least gained people from other states.
Wrote an op-ed for @thehill on where the money is actually going
English
If the increased spending hasn’t led residents to stay, something isn’t adding up.

@m3pols Thanks Mark! There’s nothing like escaping communism to make one never want to go back there

Awesome profile. It's often those who grew up in the rubbles of Communism who bring the best perspectives. Not a coincidence!

Over the last decade, California's state spending grew 48%, inflation adjusted. Population grew 0.4%. Only 25% of 8th graders hit the math proficiency level. Homelessness increased ~20% since 2019 despite us spending $37bn. We can do better!

Where does the money go?
The US spends 50% more per person on healthcare than Switzerland, the next highest spending country.
But life expectancy is 5 years shorter.
