I would think you could prevent more suicides with $400 million than building this net. Why won't they just drive to the Bay Bridge instead?

They don’t care if anyone kill’s themselves. They just don’t want them to do it at one of the wonders of the modern world

If someone wants to do this, a net aint stopping em. This is strictly for show, and a complete waste of money.

That is so sad… As someone who is familiar thruout the years with a the subject.. so much good can be done spending the money on therapy/ mental health..I wonder how much support this idea gets from the Cali

The indecisive ones can cause pretty bad traffic jams. Some are indecent enough to do their business during commute hours.

Dam, what is inflation running at in SF?  How is hanging a net $400 million.

They'll probably have more jumpers now, non-suiicidal ones who just want to say they jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge.

You are almost certainly correct.  It will be a thing on Instagram soon.

Absolutely ridiculous, better not be any shortage in funding for any programs in SF that help underprivileged, needy, homeless etc. 

 

That kind of money spent on,  google says approx 30 people a year?

 

[Red Lion]

There's certainly no shortage of money blown on the underprivileged, needy, and homeless in San Francisco. Wait a minute, homeless is a bad word in San Francisco now. "Unhoused" is the new politically correct term. 

 

San Francisco was recently building tiny homes for the unhoused and the price tag came in over $800k a piece.

Give me a terminal diagnosis and I'll jump from the bridge into the net.

 

And then shoot myself in the head.
