I don't really have a dog in this fight, but I'm curious: Do you see no merit in the argument that what we need to solve the problem is better allocation of $, rather than more $ ?

As far as I've seen, the people making the allocation argument have offered no specifics on 1) which parts of current spending are wasteful, 2) which parts of the proposed spending would be wasteful, or 3) how either could be re-allocated more usefully.

London Breed is an example of a Prop C opponent who has made the allocation argument -- her view seems to be that current spending is ineffective, but we don't yet know why, & we should figure that out before increasing spending: https://medium.com/@LondonBreed/statement-from-mayor-london-breed-opposing-proposition-c-cb0d17cbb730 …pic.twitter.com/ZeD9FIN0K0

Generally, the executive branch is more fiscally cautious conservative than other branches, as a necessity of the fact that she’s basically like the CEO of a 30K+ person org. But the people who are on the frontlines who her predecessor, Ed Lee, put in place, differ in opinion.

Find me someone who thinks we can spend our way out of prop 13 and I’ll find you someone who’s living is tied to spending our way out of prop 13.

Can we just agree that we have very counterproductive federal and state housing policies but in the meantime it’s also inhumane to let people die on our streets?

I think that’s fine to believe. I tend to take the long view and consider it less humane to focus on symptoms rather than causes knowing more people will end up homeless, but it’s not like there are had people arguing we need services for the homeless.

The people who are running this measures also baked in a lot of prevention services around mental health, rapid re-housing. They are also interested in causes, not symptoms.

SF doesn’t lack a budget for mental health. It lacks a budget to build all the houses the Bay Area needs. IMO this should be considered a $$$$ anti-poop measure. It’ll help there & make the prob easier to ignore, but won’t change the trajectory, IMO.

Replying to @pt @kimmaicutler and
We need to be crystal clear that we’d have more than enough money if the problems were mental health and poverty & not working families who can’t afford to spend 120% of their post-tax income on rent. Not intending to rant at you, but I am fired up on this one.
