Quote:
Dr. Margot Kushel, of the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF), insists that homelessness has NOTHING to do with drugs or mental illness. “We’ve always known,” Kushel said, “that most homelessness is a result, pure and simple, of poverty.”
Convinced of the truth of this preposterous maxim, San Francisco has been doling out billions of dollars to solve homelessness, by providing the homeless – or as we are now commanded to call them, “our unhoused neighbors” – with shelter, food and massive cash payments.
Also free needles! Because homelessness is just a matter of being poor, as “we’ve always known”.
On the other hand …
In 2004, nearly 5,000 homeless people were offered housing by then-Mayor Gavin Newsom. Only 131 accepted.
In 2019, Dr. Kushel was the lucky recipient of a $30 million grant from San Francisco billionaire Marc Benioff (Salesforce founder) to study homelessness.
Comment:
When $30 million can be handed out to someone to “study” something, money is no longer a store or measure of value. Look upon your savings and despair!
