- otterley 8y agoI believe a link to a group of people who want the city to build a ton of housing (including public housing for the indigent) would be more appropriate. Controlling rent will do nothing for homeless people, and will make their plight even worse.
- Balgair 8y agoWell, then post that link. :)
- JumpCrisscross 8y agoI would add https://cayimby.org https://cayimby.org. Rent boards and tenant unions are part of the problem.
- Balgair 8y agoGreat link, thanks!
- Domenic_S 8y agoAs I said elsewhere the term “homeless” is a bit of a misnomer that describes the ultimate consequence of a ton of underlying illnesses that result in eventual (actual) homelessness. Mental illness (I file addiction under that umbrella) is the root cause that should be treated. Those people dumping needles on SF sidewalks won’t get magically well by handing them the key to an apartment. We need to treat the whole problem.
- samcheng 8y agoInterestingly, many people say the same thing about our epidemic of gun massacres. Are there any mental health startups out there?
- Balgair 8y agoOk, go tell those boards this. Heck, make your own board. Grab a bunch of your friends, co-workers, etc. Attend, participate, make your voices heard. Democracy only works if you do.
