Sorry, I don't agree. If you have a small car collection worth a million (say 4 $250k cars) then $300k for housing them is cheap insurance, much better than keeping them in your house. If you've owned some collectible cars for any amount of time, the appreciation in value over the last 5-10 years could easily put you in this category. And if you live in a city, then it's not like you can just build a bigger garage.
And, yes, I do live in a big city and the number is correct. The overall city budget is around $5 billion. You'll find that most big cities in the US spent a lot of money on homeless services, regardless of what propaganda you've been hearing. I'm kinda sick of people making random blanket assumptions like this about this US. Oh, and I'm European, escaped 15 years ago.
