I rarely head into SF anymore because of car break-ins and the homeless problem. I don't think any of us are doing enough. Thanks for doing more, and challenging our leaders to do more here. Capitalism is broken if it just leads us to care about profits.

Marc and Jack could personally pay the funds to fix this problem with less than 1% of their net wealth.Why tax mid size businesses when the 2 of you could fix the problem with a small donation (relative to your wealth) . Bring in your buddies at Facebook google and square too

Take it one step further and realize that 10-20 of our wealthiest people could end homelessness and poverty world wide. Or we could use our pentagon budget for one year to do it very easily. Poverty is here on purpose. It is easily stopped and fixed.

@Benioff the state of California has more money than it has ever had before. Are we sure the solve is even MORE money? Perhaps we're better off fixing existing problems at the root, like infrastructure for affordable homes, job programs, supporting existing shelters, etc.

Have we done an evaluation of the current programs and decided they're underfunded? What's the scorecard of the new initiatives like the needle exchange and the mobile showers? Are they working? What is on the roadmap that we can't afford?

i'm usually not a fan of punching down but i am enthusiastically making an exception for this
