... and if @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.

London just wants control over the gross receipts tax increase process that is probably going to happen anyway in 2020.

OK. Why we shouldn't we allow her that control?

she'll still have control over that process.

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 …

And how many organizations are attempting to help? How do they plan together? How do we ensure the efficient ones get the resources? How do we disincentivize waste? Finally making one department the head of this is not what I meant. That's such a low bar.

They all re-apply for funding every year with an application like this, detailing how they evaluate, place, discharge every person they work with http://hsh.sfgov.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/SF-CoC-Consolidated-Application-FY18-NOFA.pdf … organizations that are at the bottom of the list either lose or risk losing funding: http://hsh.sfgov.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/08.29.18-SF-CoC-NOFA-Final-Ranked-List-6.pdf …

Sounds like a good framework for experimentation, but not long-term efficiency. Reading through the report now! Fragmentation hurts economies of scale (truly what we need) and inflates overhead. Example: For resources and equipment, are these orgs negotiating rates together?

Social welfare case work can be helped a little bit with software but it will never have the same scalability or efficiency that say a pure consumer Internet business will have. There are reasons homeless encampments generally only function with say 1-2 dozen people max bc social

Order breaks down after that. These are high touch cases with everything going on from traumatic brain injury, substances, PTSD, medical bankruptcy, youth fleeing LGBT persecution wherever they’re from, domestic abuse, etc.

Totally understand this is incredibly complex. It just seems we have layered complexity, and as those multiply costs rise a lot. And we're seeing that -- ish. The gov is also subsidizing the heck out of people so they don't end up homeless. Thats the bulk of the cost.

I'm happy spending more money per person on the street. 10k -> 14k etc. That's about $30m per year. Easy. All for it. Subsidies for housing are a costly bandaid to a massive nimby problem.
