California thinks extra tax is the solution to homelessness problem. How cute.
Now let's spend 1.8b of that money on administrative overhead, and bring $ per homeless from 50k/homeless to 100k/homeless, to the same level as newgrad base salary.
- stuaxo 6y agoAh yes, lets do nothing. Government is in a position to sort lots of things, and it needs money to do it.
- indymike 6y agoI'm sure you can think of more effective ways to deploy $2.4 BILLION than requiring "at least $2.4 MILLION" to go towards the homeless problem (straight out of the law's text). In this case, it probably would be better to just give out $2.4m in grants with an overhead of $240K to distribute the checks.
- RHSeeger 6y agoSaying that this particular "thing" is the wrong thing is not the same as saying nothing should be done. Every solution has both a benefit and a cost. The balance of those two is part of deciding whether a given solution is reasonable or not. The fact that something should be done does not mean that every "something" is a reasonable thing to do.
- tehlike 6y agoCalifornia is incompetent in deploying anything that requires operations. For vaccinations, we had a whole year to prepare, and yet we are lagging compared to everywhere else. We have homeless problem, and numbers i read mentions money spent is about 50k/homeless, and we odn't have the problem fixed yet. If you think extra tax will solve it, go on, feel free to donate to government.
