Yet California has spent about half that in homelessness(~37B) and high speed rail (~15B) alone and both actually had negative progress (got worse). It’s clearly not a money problem it’s a systemic problem

I mean it’s both, but you’re right that inefficiencies and corruption in the system can significantly inflate the required costs. I think of it as a scaling modifier. In a perfect system, where 100% of funds are initialized directly to feeding people, it’d cost that much. But, in a system where 40% gets stuck in bureaucratic webs, it’d cost proportionally or exponentially (depending on the time factor of implementation)

So you can solve it by dumping a ton more money in, you can mitigate it by clearing the system, or you can do both. People with the means to do one should do one, people with the means to do both should do both
