actually re-designing a major American city with close to 1 million people already in it from First Principles is called... dictatorship.

I don’t think that’s fair. You can believe that re-evaluating the whole broken system from first principles would be a better strategy than just injecting more capital without needing a dictator. Strategy is more important than capital here.

@mayoredlee put one person in charge of an entire consolidated dept of homelessness for the very first time. That person has several decades of experience on this issue, looked at the system holistically & still concluded it needed resources.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

@LondonBreed was pushing this Proposition, saying "here's my point person, we need this much $$$ to make an impact, here's the plan, I'm accountable"... there would be no meaningful anti-Prop C opposition Instead our elected officials are saying Prop C won't help.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -
London just wants control over the gross receipts tax increase process that is probably going to happen anyway in 2020.

She wants control? She will have control? Clearly there's something wrong with that, logically speaking. Not the whole story. We need to unify the strategy to solve homelessness. Not throw money at fragmented inefficiency.

there is a strategy and it became more consolidated under a single dept just two years ago. If you care as much as you claim you do, maybe you should go to a LHCB meeting to find out more. https://m.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/U-S-homeless-czar-visits-SF-says-he-s-13164508.php?t=8df310c8b3 … https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/SF-way-ahead-of-goal-in-registering-homeless-13340287.php …

But this doesn't help the pro Prop C argument in the slightest. It does the opposite. The people in charge of the strategy & the dept aren't asking for Prop C (please correct me if Jeff Kositsky has come out strongly in favor, I have not seen him take a position pro or con)

people who work inside the administrative arms of govt are generally not supposed to take positions for or against initiative proposals like this. It's not a cultural norm. But there is a record of him giving a donation to their campaign, so you can assume what you want from that
