Thanks for adding a link. It's from 2016 and its author, Heather Knight, is in favor of Prop C.
In the years since she wrote that she has investigated SF homelessness deeply. She's detailed how very little is actually spent on the SF homeless population ($3.8K per homeless person).[1] Because it turns out the cost of keeping at-risk people from losing their housing is high due to.. you guessed it, skyrocketing costs due to the tech boom.
Prop C addresses this fundamental funding problem and details specific accountability measures, which I've quoted upthread.
