You frame it as a cost per resident, but the cost per homeless person is the relevant cost. Per homeless person, we actually spend less than NYC—and it shows. Framing it as a cost per resident also incorrectly implies this is an individually-funded tax, when it’s a corporate tax.

Oh wow. I was definitely misled by their per-resident pricing and thought it was a citizen tax as a result. Very deceptive.

the argument has literally been framed as “for or against homelessness” by marc benioff, the architect of prop c’s disinformation campaign. prop c has no plan to actually fix the problem. no one is saying they don’t want to pay. they’re asking for a plan before they pay.
