Original Note:
Urban Alchemy is paid quite a bit to clean the streets. UA employees are often former criminals who can't be employed elsewhere. There is some controversy over their role in drug dealing in the area as well. DPW is paid to clean the area, but is not, due to corruption. https://www.federalpay.org/paycheck-protection-program/urban-alchemy-san-francisco-ca https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/22/san-francisco-sanctioned-tent-camp-homeless-covid-19
