Homeless problem lingers as S.F. spends millions

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

Since Mayor Gavin Newsom took office, he and the city of San Francisco have spent more than $1 billion on the homeless.

But is it helping?

This year, the city spent $150 million on health care and social services for its estimated 13,500 homeless on the street or in city-funded housing.

That comes to about $11,000 per person.

Great moments in Blue America.
