This pilot cost about $80k per month or about $960k for 800 participants so I dunno if the $590k savings was *above* that or not from that, but even if it's a net cost of $370K, that's only *$462.50* per participant or just over $1000 cost to the city per participant who got housing. Insanely cheap

Lets to another UBI study to see if this is just a fluke and make sure to drug test every participant so we can blame drugs while shaming them (i am being sarcastic)

#UBI is a worthwhile investment

Part of me thinks there's a lot of parallels to UBI and the metric system. Inevitable, but first you have to shed a LOT of baggage

fascinating how much this sort of thing gets studied with similar results each time & just cannot put it into widespread practice yet.

They’d much rather spend more so they can keep being cruel to the poor and feel superior. And use the poor as both a scapegoat and a convenient (fake) threat.

A few of these programs in different cities have shown promising results over the last couple of years but this country’s hatred of people in poverty is almost impossible to overcome.
