nothing to be forced to the table somehow.
While no program should be created to shift dollars away from PSH to shelter, there has to be a better way for the state to incent/compel cities to offer more beds.

Yes, you are supporting a requirement for cities to provide refuge for people in need. That is different, and can be entirely separate, from the most chilling and unhelpful part of the proposal, which is to force people to live in shelters whether or not they want to go there.

New York City has a (problematic, very) right to shelter. It doesn't have a legal requirement to reside where told because even poors have some civil rights to freedom of movement and association, and against punishment for being the wrong kind of person.
