$600+/month because he's homeless.


A self-proclaimed' old-school junkie' who moved from Texas to San Francisco because 'it's f*****g easy' to be homeless there claims he's being paid by the city government to live on the streets, getting $620 in cash per month and hundreds of food stamps while he sells Narcan and enjoys Amazon Prime and Netflix on his phone.

‘This right now is literally by choice, literally by choice. If we’re going to be realistic, they pay you to be homeless here,' James, a homeless man with face tattoos who has been living in San Francisco since June, told Michael Shellenberger, author of 'San Fransicko,' a book about how the city's progressive leaders are worsening homelessness, inequality and crime.

Unbelievable. But it's California, it's San Francisco. :rolleyes:

It's only $150 weekly, but damn, add it up for all the homeless out there and you're talking a lot of peanuts.

Estimates say 160,000 total homeless in all of California.

Weirdly, even with the money, there are an estimate of 8,000 total homeless in San Francisco. Just shy of 5 million dollars. Surprised that there is not an influx of homeless moving to SF.c
