SF ENDS $5M Booze Delivery to Drunks — $454K PER ALCOHOLIC WASTED!

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

San Francisco spent $5 million a year—$20 million total—delivering booze to homeless alcoholics. Yes, you read that right. The city's "Managed Alcohol Program" cost taxpayers $454,000 per client over four years, all in the name of "harm reduction." As usual, progressive policies prioritize keeping people comfortable in their addiction rather than actually helping them recover.We break down how this pandemic-era program lingered for years after COVID ended, why it failed the very people it claimed to help, and how new Mayor Daniel Lurie is finally ditching the harm reduction approach in favor of a Recovery First Act. A formerly homeless recovering addict weighs in on why giving addicts the very substance killing them is lunacy. Meanwhile, cities like Seattle and Portland continue doubling down on the same failed strategies.Is spending nearly half a million per person to keep them drunk really "compassionate"? When did common sense become controversial? Drop your thoughts below, and if you're tired of taxpayer-funded insanity, hit subscribe and share this with someone who needs a reality check.
