@paninid@mastodon.world What estimates? $9 to $11 billion is absurdly low. NYC spent $3.9 billion in the last year; Portland Oregon spent $724 million. And neither city is anywhere close to providing housing for all of the homeless. It's an extremely complex and difficult problem, and clickbait "solutions" aren't helping anyone. https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2025/07/heres-how-much-was-spent-on-homeless-services-in-the-portland-area-last-year.html https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2026/02/which-american-city-spends-the-most-on-homelessness-spoiler-the-answer-is-unsatisfying.html
