Most of the money doesn't go to the homeless, it goes into syringes, harm reduction supplies and salaries for the people that work to "help the homeless" but all they do is perpetuate the problem. Look up the director of homeless prevention office in SF, she makes around $300k /yr just from her salary. Lots of money is stolen
I`m an American living in Cape Town. I live in an affluent area but met a man sleeping on the sidewalk the other day. I had a 10 minute wait for my Uber so I sat with him to chat and tried to understand why he was living on the sidewalk. He was honest and said he has a home to go home to but hates his wife and feels free and loves the freedom of street life. He said I am here by choice.

Homelessness is always judged by those who have never experienced it. There are numerous different reasons why people become homeless. Todays society treats homeless like they are 3rd class citizens, talking about fixing the homeless crisis. Its all of our faults. Alot of people on the street are there as a result of todays society lacking empathy for others and only focusing on themselves. We are all connected to one another and the more people who look for someone to blame instead of a way to correct errors, the more lost we will become.
Nah… Some of us are judgmental because we don’t want to end up like them or a victim. I’m not saying anyone should be mean to them or anything, but don’t be a fool either.
Before FB, Paypal, Instagram, and Tic Tok, there was still Apple, HP, and Cisco. The affordability of San Fran hasn't been within reach of someone in the lower middle class or below, for many more decades than the last two. Blaming homelessness on Tech is just beyond logic when it wasn't Tech who put in major limiting regulations that made new construction nearly impossible in the 90s, 2000s, and 2010s. It wasn't tech who made energy, utility, and food prices cost more in California than anywhere else in the Nation when California is blessed with oil, natural gas, wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, and just about every other type of energy source known, is blessed with one of, if not the top food producing soil in the US, is blessed with abundant water resources throughout the Sierras and the Pacific Ocean, and yet have regulated themselves out of being able to effectively tap these resources to be the best place in the US instead of the last place. When you make everything in your State cost more, having nothing to do with Tech, and everything to do with ignorant voters, you get issues with poverty that are beyond that of the avg community.
Why didn’t Elon go all in for RFK Jr? He got our hopes up!!

I lived in SF from 1982 too 1995 when you could live on $ 7.25 working 40 hrs aweek . From 1988 to 1995, I had a comfortable small apt , my rent was $450 a month and the cost of food was responsible . Then in 1994 -95 Big tec moved to SF and my rent shot up overnight to $ 1,200 a month , I couldn't afford to live in SF anylonger and Moved to Portland Oregon. Portland was still reasonable, and didn't have the Violence that they are suffering from now !!!. But soon all that started to change when Wealthy Tec and LGBTQS started to move in from SF , now look at Portland the Leftist Progressive Mafia has taken over 😮 It's Crazy 🤪 , where does 95% of the population go from here ???.
Are you guys freaking kidding me! None of the politicians in California or any state almost want to fix the homeless problem because too many nonprofits and businesses pay billions a year in this country of the homeless problem that never gets solved as these charities paid themselves high salaries
I'm in Australia. Spent 21 years doing homeless outreach in Melbourne. She doesn't understand the basic complex variables involved in regards to the reasons people live on the streets.
As someone who lives near SF and have spent a good deal of time there talking to homeless people I can say for a fact that that a good amount of the homeless in SF prefer it, some ive talked to have moved there specifically to be homeless
And most of the rich kids I dormed with moved out to expensive apartments to be closer to THEIR dealers without supervision. That’s the difference I think she was trying to point out.
You do realize that some working people are homeless-living in their car-because housing prices are too high. Not every victim of capitalism is a drug addict. Victim-blaming instead of blaming the people/system that created the conditions in the first place suggests that their propaganda is working.
Excuse me , I'm not addicted to Drugs and Alcohol but I can Nolonger live in SF . What about housing for the working middle class in SF ???. If you're looking you might find a closet to rent in a Victorian for $800 a month !!!. Affordable housing is a must !!!.

I have lived in SF for over 30 years. Robby is 100% correct! It's all due to the neo-liberal attitude of the SF gov. The math is also wrong. The average wage in SF and Silicon Vally is the highest in US. All due to Tech successes... Like CZcams. Most of the tech we enjoy (Apple, Apple. FB and CZcams etc.) was started by investors in the SF Bay Area. Jessica is soooo out of touch with reality.
Jessica needs to listen to RFK discuss homelessness. It is a question of mental illness for the majority of longer term homeless people. Yes, sometimes circumstances make someone homeless, but those people use the programs and get back on their feet.
The banks failed because the gov't raised rates so quickly. I don't know how you connect that to rich people's pet projects. It's fun that she thinks she is right because Robbie hasn't interviewed all the homeless. She has?
The problem with idealistically driven people like this new co-anchor is that they think the problem they are trying to solve is a simple matter and that they have all the right ideas. However, they lack the wisdom of why things are the way they are. If it were a simple matter of money and resources, the problem would have been fixed a long time ago. This is where Robbie is correct. He knows the problem is much deeper and is on an individual level, where Government cannot fix it without infringing on the individual's rights.
Absolutely. 100%. Which is why Jesus said that you will never, in this age, eliminate poverty, of which homelessness is a feature. Conversely, the situation is reversible...individual by individual.
Robbie is correct on the homeless problem. Drugs and mental illness are the core reason for this. She is also wrong on supply and demand for rental units in San Fran. She needs a basic Econ class review. )Sorry to sound so catty!) PS Even though I didn’t always agree with her, I miss my old friend BJG 😢
Jessica, this is true. I know lots of homeless people. This IS their choice. They want to live on the streets where the drugs and their friends are. My kid was there for a decade and BY CHOICE.
Actually it was Robby that said that "supply and demand" is causing the problems. She discounted that as the problem, because there are thousands of buildings, including apartment buildings, houses, and entire business plazas, that are not being used. In my city there are dozens of very nice business buildings that are so expensive that no business can afford to rent them, and they continue to rapidly build new plazas, despite the old ones being unused still. In my entire life, I've never seen so many empty buildings that aren't be used for anything.
At 8:43 Jessica compares the median rent in San Francisco of $3,375 to the federal minimum wage of $7.25, not the San Francisco minimum wage of $18.07. Why is she bringing up a lower wage amount that isn't relevant in the city instead of the actual minimum wage San Franciscans receive by law? It's so dishonest.

Jessica thinks that landlords would rather not make money than pay taxes on money they made… 🤦🏾♂️ So let’s get this straight. The rent is less say $3500/month. In California you might end up paying let’s say 45% taxes as an average landlord. So you’d make $23,100 if your room was occupied for 12 months. She really thinks landlords would rather “save” money on taxes that were already going to pay and not make the additional $23,100?? That’s about as dumb as people who say they’re not going to work overtime because then they’ll have to pay taxes.

lol, "Well why would the homeless choose to be homeless?" Pffffffftttttt, you can tell she's never once fed the homeless. Yeah, they choose to be homeless. Fed the homeless for over 3 years in Portland, OR. Same story over and over.
Two big lessons from this: one, the Silicon Valley people have grown up and are no longer as naive and idealistic as they once were; and two, the Democratic party and platform as a whole has left a whole lot of its former members completely behind.
Jessica, if the price of San Francisco is too much for someone... then move. Simple as that. My friends left Boston because it was too expensive. The cost to move outweighed the cost to stay. Now they are all in New Hampshire and Florida.
well sure he will that's the idea he will and should expect a better economy that's important to him to make more money just like its important to all of us. its not a bad thing .
He’ll expect our economy to get back to where it was. He’ll expect gas prices to stop being four dollars a gallon so yeah, he’ll expect many other things as well like the rest of us do.
Jessica likes to complicate things sometimes. Homelessness in the majority of the cases involves mental health issues. This is not to say that the rent has gone up too high and some people are homeless coz of that.
Robbie is right. Landlords can charge $3000/mo in rent because there is too little housing. Period. A lot of people have roommates in cities like San Francisco. Once more housing comes online, this would help flatten rent prices.
Is it all the small businesses he refused to pay? Is it the 4000 court cases for bad business practices prior to running? Is it that he nor his kids cannot legally head a charity after being found guilty of stealing money from a children’s cancer charity? The six bankruptcies? The 34 felonies and many indictments? Is it that he speaks ill of immigrants, but is okay with marrying them and getting them here under false pretenses? The blatant racism? I mean, what part of this are you looking at and seeing leadership potential?
FABULOUS arguing among professional journalists. I am SO enjoying this show now. This exchange of different opinions is so well argued and the journalists composure is absolutely amazing due to their professionalism and respect for one another. THIS is how to argue intelligently, professionally, and respectfully. Thank you for reporting 100% truth and for your well-spoken difference in opinions.
He’s right. Drug education is completely lacking. It’s only based on ‘fear’ rather than ‘facts’. Drug venters would not be there if there wasn’t costumers / consumers. Most of the issues would take care of themselves if ‘how to be an entrepreneur’ was the main education. Drug education should be on facts in Health class.
Wow, she's smug, obnoxious And clueless. "Of course there's alot of misinformation" - dismissive and pushing policies that have failed. This was Not always the case. Homelessness is at a whole new level Because of the policies. Under Juliani (the guy your friends bankrupted) killed tolerance for crimes, gathered people up and got them the help they needed. It Worked. I know because I was there. Permissive policing (no where more prevalent than CA) causes this. This is an abject failure of the political class of CA. (Optimistically. They are a big fan of riots and Brown Shirts, so who knows.) But they are not answerable to the people of CA (they count the votes) so no one will lose their job due to gross incompetence... even if there's a recall election.
Dear Lord get the female a reality check 😂 Looks like the Secret Service logic. Seriously get out of the way. You have failed. Lord save us for this logic. She is a Fool.
She has no idea of what she is talking about! Have you worked in San Francisco for 25+ years and watch the city deteriorate. Everything she is saying completely wrong! Sad commentator with such little knowledge the facts talking about.
Robby let's face it someone is getting that money and it sure is not the homeless. It is inside someone's bank account but it did not go towards the homeless.
Why doesn't he just hand it to Trump so he won't be so desperate to be president anymore! That's the only reason Trump wants to be president is for the millions of dollars he will be given for favors
Jessica - landlords don't want vacant properties for the tax write-off. They are looking for paper loses to offset other income, but a vacant property on which they have to pay maintenance and huge property taxes isn't just a write-off, it's an outlay of cash. They use depreciation rules to have paper losses yet positive cash flow; negative cash flow will cause them to unload the properties (if they can). In the same vein, Krystal on BP was noting how the selling of properties in SF well below their purchase price was going to cause a banking crisis, but that is not necessarily so. In commercial real estate, you don't buy a property to make money on the gain on the sale like a home - you buy it to make money on the rent. And if you have owned the property for a decent period of time, you have made enough rent to more than offset a loss on the sale, and that loss will provide a write off against other income.
For Jessica: If you have a rental unit and set your prices too high, as you suggest, to where many units are empty... How do you afford to keep the place in business? It's the most basic rule of business is that you charge as much as your customer can afford... SF tech companies imported a ton of high paid software engineers, which drove up the prices of houses/rentals. Had SF government done nothing, real estate developments could not have afforded to keep creating such high-priced units. Instead, SF gave incentives to developers to build condos for tech workers instead of letting the market handle itself... Because the government wanted to keep growing the Silicon Valley tech boom. I could go on, but at the end of the day, the problem with people being priced out of real estate markets is largely due to government meddling in the economy.
The rent costs are insane in San Francisco because of the punishing regulations to build anything in that city...not because of the tech companies not getting taxed enough.
Whoa, totally agree with Jessica on this one. It's such a lie that rent goes up because of low supply. I've lived in the bay area near brand new massive apartment buildings with tons of empty units (within blocks) and not once did my rent go down, only up, when these new units went up. Thanks for pointing out that landlords will sit on vacant units, holding out for a higher rent! It's absolutely true.
Not all, but most right? And if someone simply can't afford rent in one of the most expensive places to live - why not just move somewhere with a lower cost of living? What am I missing?
Wow! I had no idea Jessica was so uninformed about the homeless cause and the reason for housing cost in the bay area. "Have you spoken to all 2000 homeles?" is the most flimsy and disingenuous response. The homeless that only need a home to resolve their problems have mostly all been housed, the rest need another kind of help first.
You are both correct. The homelessness problem is a very complicated one. Just as many want to work their way up as those that choose to live and die on the street due to addiction. The program's needed will need to take on massive numbers but the government spends millions on pet projects that have nothing to do with American citizens.
Look at the salaries of the people “fixing” the homeless problem.
If SF has spent billions without any impact, then the money has been MISspent.
Why are the politicians so rich and the companies they push?
They don't want to fix the problem...they make too much money for themselves. No problem no money. It's shameful

lol, "Well why would the homeless choose to be homeless?" Pffffffftttttt, you can tell she's never once fed the homeless. Yeah, they choose to be homeless. Fed the homeless for over 3 years in Portland, OR. Same story over and over.
RFK has an excellent program to solve addiction and thus homelessness. RFK 2024!!!
RFK cannot win. He’s not on the ballot in all states so cannot get enough votes. All he can do is steal votes from Biden.
Two big lessons from this: one, the Silicon Valley people have grown up and are no longer as naive and idealistic as they once were; and two, the Democratic party and platform as a whole has left a whole lot of its former members completely behind.
Jessica, if the price of San Francisco is too much for someone... then move. Simple as that. My friends left Boston because it was too expensive. The cost to move outweighed the cost to stay. Now they are all in New Hampshire and Florida.
"It's a not a supply and demand issue" - Tell me you have no idea what you're talking about without telling me you have no idea.
That woman really has no clue
$45 million a month, I’m sure Elon won’t expect anything for this.
MAGA gonna be driving a fleet of Cybertrucks
well sure he will that's the idea he will and should expect a better economy that's important to him to make more money just like its important to all of us. its not a bad thing .
He will probably expect lower inflation rates for all America and a strong economy. Probably strong borders too.
@@Bearsdenadventurues are you ok with a billionaire foreigner that’s in charge of a huge social media company spending millions on American politics?
He’ll expect our economy to get back to where it was. He’ll expect gas prices to stop being four dollars a gallon so yeah, he’ll expect many other things as well like the rest of us do.
People waking up from their slumber is hilarious to watch 😂😂😂😂
Love that Jessica can have a polite discussion with differing opinions.
Well if you dont then you know what happens, am i rite?
47M a month has a better ring to it.
I thought Donald Trump was winning,. Apparently not he's still not going to win, Elon musk keep wasting your money.
This woman is crazy. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF HOMELESS PEOPLE DO YOU THINK ARE SOBER ? Answer that. Honestly.
Jessica derailed the segment from tech to homelessness and Robby went along. This should have been about tech and Musk donating to Trump and the GOP.
Big business men looking for a big tax cut if Donald Trump get elected. I hope the American people vote for joe Biden.
MAKE AMERICA DECENT & STRONG AGAIN
This Time: Vote FOR the TRUE Independent REFORM Candidate…
** R-F-K ... ALL The Way...!!!
Do the math. He has zero chance of winning and will only steal votes, but imagine that you likely already know this.
Jessica likes to complicate things sometimes. Homelessness in the majority of the cases involves mental health issues. This is not to say that the rent has gone up too high and some people are homeless coz of that.
Robbie is right. Landlords can charge $3000/mo in rent because there is too little housing. Period. A lot of people have roommates in cities like San Francisco. Once more housing comes online, this would help flatten rent prices.
" aside from just being poor"
Robby, Poverty is so central
to homelessness and addictions
Especially when your blowing what little money you have on drugs and alcohol.
Praying for Elon and President Trump 🙏 🙌 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💖
😂😂😂😂😂
Amen!❤
@@MichelleRomero-lf1nuGod hates Trump
Is it all the small businesses he refused to pay? Is it the 4000 court cases for bad business practices prior to running? Is it that he nor his kids cannot legally head a charity after being found guilty of stealing money from a children’s cancer charity? The six bankruptcies? The 34 felonies and many indictments? Is it that he speaks ill of immigrants, but is okay with marrying them and getting them here under false pretenses? The blatant racism? I mean, what part of this are you looking at and seeing leadership potential?
Umm, if they have bad credit or a criminal record, they aren't able to rent.
FABULOUS arguing among professional journalists. I am SO enjoying this show now. This exchange of different opinions is so well argued and the journalists composure is absolutely amazing due to their professionalism and respect for one another. THIS is how to argue intelligently, professionally, and respectfully. Thank you for reporting 100% truth and for your well-spoken difference in opinions.
Prices exist because people pay them. That's literally all there is to it.
No one gets this.
J3ssica, You precious litle elite princess, *YOU DON'T EPERIENCE HOMELESSNESS
He’s more American than at least half of Americans, and he’s originally from South Africa. Thank you Mr. Musk.
True
@@mark2tech what does this mean? Why are you applauding a wealthy elite buying our elections?
Shame on Musk. RFK is the best choice.
Uhhh... Trump on track to win
He’s right.
Drug education is completely lacking. It’s only based on ‘fear’ rather than ‘facts’. Drug venters would not be there if there wasn’t costumers / consumers. Most of the issues would take care of themselves if ‘how to be an entrepreneur’ was the main education. Drug education should be on facts in Health class.
Wow, she's smug, obnoxious And clueless. "Of course there's alot of misinformation" - dismissive and pushing policies that have failed. This was Not always the case. Homelessness is at a whole new level Because of the policies.
Under Juliani (the guy your friends bankrupted) killed tolerance for crimes, gathered people up and got them the help they needed. It Worked. I know because I was there.
Permissive policing (no where more prevalent than CA) causes this.
This is an abject failure of the political class of CA. (Optimistically. They are a big fan of riots and Brown Shirts, so who knows.)
But they are not answerable to the people of CA (they count the votes) so no one will lose their job due to gross incompetence... even if there's a recall election.
Dear Lord get the female a reality check 😂
Looks like the Secret Service logic. Seriously get out of the way. You have failed. Lord save us for this logic. She is a Fool.
She has no idea of what she is talking about! Have you worked in San Francisco for 25+ years and watch the city deteriorate. Everything she is saying completely wrong! Sad commentator with such little knowledge the facts talking about.
Robby let's face it someone is getting that money and it sure is not the homeless. It is inside someone's bank account but it did not go towards the homeless.
$1 billion towards 8,000 homeless people is $125K per person. So no Jessica, this is NOT a money problem.
"The Idea ... the idea ..." Jessica is turning into Biden.
when my son was sick, i was explained that people live on the street instead of shelter because this is where they fell safer ( on the street)
Jessica is ridiculously naive.
Why doesn't he just hand it to Trump so he won't be so desperate to be president anymore! That's the only reason Trump wants to be president is for the millions of dollars he will be given for favors
Jessica - landlords don't want vacant properties for the tax write-off. They are looking for paper loses to offset other income, but a vacant property on which they have to pay maintenance and huge property taxes isn't just a write-off, it's an outlay of cash. They use depreciation rules to have paper losses yet positive cash flow; negative cash flow will cause them to unload the properties (if they can). In the same vein, Krystal on BP was noting how the selling of properties in SF well below their purchase price was going to cause a banking crisis, but that is not necessarily so. In commercial real estate, you don't buy a property to make money on the gain on the sale like a home - you buy it to make money on the rent. And if you have owned the property for a decent period of time, you have made enough rent to more than offset a loss on the sale, and that loss will provide a write off against other income.
For Jessica: If you have a rental unit and set your prices too high, as you suggest, to where many units are empty... How do you afford to keep the place in business?
It's the most basic rule of business is that you charge as much as your customer can afford... SF tech companies imported a ton of high paid software engineers, which drove up the prices of houses/rentals. Had SF government done nothing, real estate developments could not have afforded to keep creating such high-priced units. Instead, SF gave incentives to developers to build condos for tech workers instead of letting the market handle itself... Because the government wanted to keep growing the Silicon Valley tech boom.
I could go on, but at the end of the day, the problem with people being priced out of real estate markets is largely due to government meddling in the economy.
gosh Jessica is so very naive. - Has she never met some of these street people?
So nice not having brie there to just shout over robby. So nice
Now we just have to listen to robbies bs totally unopposed.
@@1aatlas Jessica pushed back the whole time.
That’s because he wants Trump to prevent his main competitor, BYD , from selling cheaper EV cars in US
The rent costs are insane in San Francisco because of the punishing regulations to build anything in that city...not because of the tech companies not getting taxed enough.
So….they know they can buy both trump and Vance…unless you are LOADED WITH MONEY, this is VERY BAD FOR YOU!!!
Jessica was doing so well until now
She said the market isn't caring. LOL. She does not understand supply and demand. OMG.
Sure, blame tech companies for homelessness, not the politicians who have overseen this.
Looks like Elon is trying to get his Orange Lantern ring. Someone needs to tell him. Trump won't share.
I no nothing because I don't live in America so you my outside opinion is It's Time for More knowledge Information and Facts. America use to leady
Whoa, totally agree with Jessica on this one. It's such a lie that rent goes up because of low supply. I've lived in the bay area near brand new massive apartment buildings with tons of empty units (within blocks) and not once did my rent go down, only up, when these new units went up. Thanks for pointing out that landlords will sit on vacant units, holding out for a higher rent! It's absolutely true.
Rich get richer the poor get for... Disgusting....
Musk is too politically illiterate to be in politics.
This is insane.
Did you ever stop to consider that you may be the one who is politically illiterate?
Robby. Did you just say that “they have to be on the streets to be near their drug dealers” Really?!
Roughly $180,000 per homeless person. There's nothing to see here!
Thank you Elon Musk for contribute on behalf of so many people who can’t contribute to Trump.
Not all homeless people are on drugs. Its the druggies that get all the help.
Not all, but most right? And if someone simply can't afford rent in one of the most expensive places to live - why not just move somewhere with a lower cost of living? What am I missing?
I thought I could come back here, but I can't, Jessica is too cringe.
Thank you Elon Musk for helping President Trump save America ❤
Jessica is 100% correct and Robbie is just dead freaking wrong.
Dearest Robbie, You have a very narrow ignorant view
of “The Homelessness Problem”
Wow! I had no idea Jessica was so uninformed about the homeless cause and the reason for housing cost in the bay area. "Have you spoken to all 2000 homeles?" is the most flimsy and disingenuous response. The homeless that only need a home to resolve their problems have mostly all been housed, the rest need another kind of help first.
I have received feedback from people who actually work at homeless shelters. They tell me these people need mental health care, not five star housing.
You are both correct. The homelessness problem is a very complicated one. Just as many want to work their way up as those that choose to live and die on the street due to addiction. The program's needed will need to take on massive numbers but the government spends millions on pet projects that have nothing to do with American citizens.
