I’m sorry but on this kind of topic, performing terribly and claiming that’s ok because everyone else is worse is just not good enough. We need to find the people and programs who can drive improvement, not stagnation.https://twitter.com/kimmaicutler/status/1064973253440126976 …

Good point. I think regardless of the taxes debate, it’s clear solving homelessness is just not a high enough priority for decision makers right now, which is sad and unfortunate.

yes, people who actually vote, who tend to be more property-owning and higher-income than the entire population that is qualified to vote, would probably not empathize as much with what it means to be poor and therefore will not vote in policies that solve this.

I think the argument was that we shouldn't raise taxes on our employers, who can easily stop employing us, to spend more on programs that we don't yet have metrics or data on how effective they are. Time will tell whether we lose our jobs for no good reason or not.

If you don’t sufficiently fund programs to solve homelessness, you won’t get a signal that it’s working. It’s a chicken and egg problem. Regardless of the debate whether to raise taxes or not.
