ugh benioff is peak virtue signaller

i would say we should send him a copy of john cogan's 'high cost of good intentions' but i don't think factual data is part of his objective here unfortunately
I suspect that if people knew the actual cost for some of these interventions, they'd balk. Looking at one of the programs Benioff supported — their *goal* is to spend $30m on rent subsidies for 800 families in the Bay. That's nearly $40k/family for a short-term patch.

The details on these programs always look ridiculous like that. I get not wanting to build a cabrini-green west, but they always go so far in the opppsite direction...and its usually the middle class that suffers and quality of life goes down across demographics.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Strongly suspect that the better use of that money would be to help people relocate to areas with less mature but high-growth economies (and ideally favorable local politics). Why on earth would you subsidize rent in the most expensive rental market in the country?

Bad optics shipping people who generally dont want to go (homeless) to 2nd tier cities that dont have the homeless services that california cities do...also resistance from those cities facing an influx of homeless... if you mean relocating middle class labor..thats another story
