They need more than just housing, and you know it. On that topic though, where is this housing you speak of?

More importantly, where is the money for housing? There are so many empty buildings and even fully functional non-franchised hotels that the city could easily purchase and start providing rooms we also have the money to hire counselors for job placement and nurses for care. There

I’m not sure where to begin here, but this has been going on for thirty plus years. How would the City purchase hotels for housing when they are zoned differently and who would staff them? The $$ to hire more people is already given to favored non profits without apparent results

No results. Do you remember Prop C? That money was supposed to fund a lot of these changes (which we identify as “direct action,” the opposite of bureaucracy) but it has remained stagnant. Clearly that funding is not being distributed, staffs are not being hired as promised. ..

If you don’t think change comes from the bottom up, you’re trippin. If you think that policy can’t be forced by grassroots politics or that those changes aren’t on the horizon, you’re not paying attention. Follow
