  • Controversy is brewing over a San Francisco program that gives free alcohol to homeless people and reportedly costs the city $4 Million per year. Under the Managed Alcohol Program or MAP, a nurse provides alcohol to those enrolled and housed in a hotel in the city's Tenderloin district. While the San Francisco Department of Health says MAP has shown a reduction in calls for emergency services for the people enrolled, the program has reportedly only helped 55 people in the 4 years since it began. Critics of the program, including a member of the city's metro board, say it is doing more harm than good. KTLA's Andy Riesmeyer reports. Live, local news from L.A.'s Very Own, KTLA 5

      Kept 55 people drunk for four years and the program cost $5 million dollars? What are they serving 30 yr. old Hennessy or wine from Pelosi's vineyard?

      Oh, it's just a boondoggle to pump $5 million dollars into a non-profit like most of these programs in San Francisco.

      It is indeed astoundingly ludicrous. But not so much when you consider corruption, chicanery, and collusion. I would bet $120 that every human who signed off on this little stunt knowingly received benefits and bonuses. All at the expense of millions of fellow humans. 🤮 Disgusting. Embarrassing. Unforgivable.

      you Make it Seem like its a CA problem , its an American Problem , Ive traveled and Lived in every kind of State and Financial Environment and EVERY SINGLE State wastes Money for insane purposes , in Fact almost every single time leads to exuberance waste on the Politicians of Each Party . This is exemplary of why Americans is the only Wealthy Nation on Earth and thusly pays some of the highest taxes on Earth and STILL get HUGE Bankrupt Leading Bills from for example the Medical Condition . Even for those who are in the “ Hospitals have to Make Money too “ camp , the issue Remains that Americans have had their taxes used in ways that Literally NEVER Benefit the taxpayers to do very important things .
