Assuming you have a 20% down payment ($160,000), your total mortgage on a $800,000 home would be $640,000. For a 30-year fixed mortgage with a 3.5% interest rate, you would be looking at a $2,874 monthly payment. Please keep in mind that the exact cost and monthly payment for your mortgage will vary, depending its length and terms.

Politically, it's a blue gob of waste... What a scam. You and I both know someone is dipping their hands into that cookie jar. $837,000 for each housing unit? Please...

LA spent at least that much trying to cover up and hide hundreds of homeless encampments for the Super Bowl. No doubt they were back right after the game.

Well, if a Democrat run shit hole is something you are searching to find, this is certainly one.

Any appropriation of funds to be spent by the lying thieves is only the effort to provide a flow of money for the lying thieves to steal.

The greater the flow of funds that is approved, the greater will be theft that occurs as a result.

$837,000 seems a little outrageous even by lying thief standards. I guess they feel that the numbness of the electorate is such that any theft will excused if it's noticed at all.

Of course, it's beautiful, but as you know, our homeless population is a real problem.
Your city, especially.
Unhoused people is a problem in America. CA has a bigger problem than most because our weather is more temperate than most of the states and because CA treats unhoused people better than most states. When was the last time you were in SF (not my city)?

It's nothing to be proud of, btw.

You cant? You seriously underestimate the power of these idiots to **** shit up. Think of these morons as the ultimate bubba test of a system. They are bound to **** it up in new and interexting ways.

Until you go inland for just a few miles and then it's just damn hot in a good chunk of the state.

Yes it does. SF is about 9 sq miles on a peninsula, but we have a number of cities with homeless issues. Just as every state does.

Traffic sucks, but one reason our gas is more expensive is because we chose to have a summer blend that costs more to make. Why would people do that to themselves?

A little extreme, but you get the general idea.

This is about 25 minutes by car outside of downtown SF

Drug addicts and crazy people. They need to be in prisons or mental hospitals.

We need to treat them with much more negative reinforcement. Move them along, and STOP giving them benefits unless they are willing to get into some kind of a program.

Indiana has a summer blend as well.

Right now, Indianapolis gas prices are about $1.25/gallon lower than San Francisco.

Depends on the part, lol....the lower half it's that way. Lived in Monterey for 3 years and it was very nice and moderate year round. Drive in land a bit and the temp shot up. South of Monterey it got worse.

Deflection aside, are you okay with politicians spending nearly $1 million to house 1 homeless person?

You can always tell the right wing media parrots. LOL. If California is a "shithole", then the USA is the biggest shithole on earth because all other states if anything are bigger "shitholes" than Cali.
Get out, see the nation a lil bit PoS. It would do you some good, dont listen to am radio while you're traveling either. Stuff rots ones brain.
