        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.

        you don’t get to be a billionaire and sit while these people die in the cold. you know that supportive housing takes a tremendous amount of money to build at scale. so let’s be real: you just want to stay in the three comma clubhttps://twitter.com/uhshanti/status/1053449544975835137?s=21 …

        I just left my office. on that one block there were three homeless men. one was recovering from a brain injury, another had a speech impediment, the third was blind. they were all black or Latinx, they were all enough to be my grandpa. I just want to cry right now.

        if folks spent as much on Prop C as they did for a bill to overhaul zoning regulation, we’d do a lot more for the homeless problem. But, tackling zoning doesnt make one an easy hero. its harder and more complex. kudos @patrickc on this blog post

        You never specifically mention why STRIPE is against the proposition. It’s one thing to say you disagree with the fundamentals of the prop, but for a company to take a stance on a proposition specifically… feels like there’s other issues not mentioned.

        I think this is a really good statement and that they’re saying *why* they oppose the bill, in a political way: basically, they think SF has no clue on how to solve the issue, and just pouring more money without a good plan is not going to fix it. They can’t, of course say:

        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.

        Well written. Throwing money at the problem alone likely isn’t the answer. I think design thinking is the right tool to get us started on the right short and long term solutions. More administrations should be encouraged to deploy this powerful methodology.

        I think Marx's Capital has some good design principles to start from - the first few chapters are rough but then you'll see the #innovation on display!
