| The poor and broadband Just addressing the subject of the goal of this project of helping the poor:
San Fran has about 74,000 people or 23,000 households in poverty
(»www.bayareacensus.ca.gov/countie···unty.htm)
The city receives about $4.5 million a month in cable franchise fees.
(»www.ischool.berkeley.edu/~bigyal···2006.pdf)
Why doesn't the city use a portion of this income (10% = $450,000/mo) to take care of its own disadvantaged citizen's broadband needs by buying cable broadband? Isn't helping the poor a function of San Francisco's government? |

| said by jayperkins:San Fran has about 74,000 people or 23,000 households in poverty I'm calling BS on that stat. The smallest stinkhole of a house in San Francisco sells for the price of a small mansion here in the midwest. I don't doubt there are poor people in SF (especially homeless) but there aren't many (if any) poor households.

Theres so many darn homeless people in SF. All the hobos seemed to migrate to SF for some reason. We used to hand out so much money/benefits to them and word got around and SF was the mecca. Theres also a bunch of hippies that never left. They're jobless and still on acid or whatever they do.
The cops do a good job of keeping them to the poorer sections where tourist and normal money spending folks don't go to.
SF is still the #1 destination in America.
