That's projected over 7 years, so $101 million per year. The city's annual budget is nearly 6 billion dollars. While $707 million sounds big, it's quite small

That's projected over 7 years, so $101 million per year. The city's annual budget is nearly 6 billion dollars. While $707 million sounds big, it's quite small relatively speaking.
If you'd rather criminalize homelessness, build prisons and courts, employ more cops and prosecutors and prison guards, and defense lawyers for the inevitable lawsuits that arise from inhumane treatment, you might want to work up a budget for all that. And tell me where the money is going to come from, in a state with no income tax.
- WalterBright 3y agoThe state gets plenty of money in taxes. So does the city - nearly 6 billion dollars.
- klyrs 3y agoDefine "plenty." So far your argument has taken the form "this is a big number." It isn't convincing.
