Generally I agree, although I think there's also some weird other effects going on - I don't think it's in any businesses interest that there are tons of homeless people or drug addicts in SF or pushing prosecutors not to get them off the streets for instance. But yes, as a longtime Nevada resident who saw the harm casinos did to local populations, I can definitely say that cities often do what makes the most tax revenue if the costs are diffused enough (or not politically important)
- chadlavi 6y agoThe real estate situation in SF is a huge cause of homelessness. The Pharma industry is a huge driver of drug addiction. Those are both things that aren't necessarily within the purview of the city government (the real estate one is, I guess), but they're situations that could be ameliorated with government action.
