$846 Million Later… Why Is Homelessness Worse Than Ever in America?

$846 million. That’s what San Francisco spent on homelessness in 2023—only for the crisis to get worse. In this raw and unfiltered episode, Ryan dives into America’s homelessness epidemic: from families living in cars to panhandling scams, broken systems, and policies that burn through billions but fix nothing.

He shares personal encounters, exposes shocking failures in housing and mental health support, and questions the real motives behind these billion-dollar “solutions.”

If you’ve ever wondered where the money is going—or why the tent cities keep growing—this episode will leave you with answers and even more questions.
