Money is just a tool. It can be used to finance good plans, which make things better, and it can be used to finance bad plans, which make things worse. I don't know if "crack-zombies" are part of the homeless population or not. Robbing Peter to pay Paul is immoral, not virtuous.

Proponents of C must admit that it is their worldview that it is acceptable to use physical force or the threat thereof to take money from one person, business, group, race, class, city, county, state, country, and give it to another. Where I come from, this is called stealing.1/

The vote for C is to expand the role of the police force to extract funds from businesses. Those leaders who do not voluntarily hand over the funds will be imprisoned. Those who refuse to be imprisoned will be killed. Isn't that clear? Or, you could just ask for donations.

People can certainly gang up and vote for whatever terrible, discriminatory policies they want. I only warn of the consequences. Appearing to be hostile to business might mean a huge divestment in SF as companies relocate, leaving SF short on tax revenue.

I agree that no changes is only going to lead to a worsening situation. Here's an alternative: buy a plot of land somewhere, bus anybody camping in the city out to it, install border guards, blacklist offenders, set up enough temp beds to handle temp unemployment.

Or, drop them off wherever you want. Nobody is forcing them to stay on the plot of land provided to them. Just happens to not be in the city and since they were breaking the law, they won't be allowed back in the city without applying for a permit/visa.

It's not about having a home. It's about breaking the law. If they break the law somewhere else, they won't risk being imprisoned in or relocated & blacklisted from SF. Why can't we just enforce the laws already there? Why stop at SF city, why not home everybody in the Marina?
