Other cities literally buy homeless people tickets to LA or SF to get rid of them, and cities generally don't have the amount of revenue they should have because of Prop 13.
Please propose a fix for dealing with the homeless population of the entire country on a budget that is mostly pre-allocated by propositions with no ability to raise taxes.
Nobody really wants to address the elephant in the room because they're all Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaires who might hypothetically benefit from Prop 13 someday.
- selectodude 7y agoYou don’t have to be temporarily embarrassed to benefit from prop 13, merely one of the 55 percent of Californians that own their home. Homeowners vote, and they vote in their own self interest.
- paulmd 7y agowell, then apparently the homeless problem isn't materially affecting those homeowners' well-being enough for them to care? I mean, you have to step over homeless encampments to walk down the street, but at least you don't have to pay more taxes!
