I see this argument in relation to refugees pretty often. It seems to insinuate that we are spending more on refugees than we are on homeless shelters.
SF is prepared to spend 1.1 billion to address homelessness, which I think is just shy of the federal refugee program budget.
The fights to combat exclusionary / single family zoning are in part to create more affordable housing.
It seems we, as a society, are doing a lot to fight homelessness, but relatively little to help resettle refugees.
