I have to disagree with the OP, this is an example of what is right with USA.
So you think almost $5 million dollars and another 800k a years is the right way to deal with roughly 200 homeless people? You don't think that is just a tad bit much money to deal with roughly 200 people, specially when they were not all housed but rather forced to move out and go elsewhere.

Edit.. After further review its even worse. It's the original 4 million, plus another 2 million for this year and the 850k and they can only house 100 people.. Meaning they are actually spending nearly 7 million to house 100 people while the other 100 go back to the streets.. That's the right way to go?
