  While true, it is irrelevant because no reparations have been passed/distributed.

    It’s relevant in that reparation supporters have cited reparations as an answer to the homeless problem. ’m not sure how it would work in practice: would social workers distribute $5M checks to Black homeless people while leaving the White ones laying next to them on the street? At any rate, the larger point is that SF’s out-of-touch political elites need to work on real solutions rather than engage in performative politics.

    It’s in the mould of San Francisco’s education board busying themselves with renaming schools while schools remained closed [1]. Is it an issue? Sure. Is it the pressing issue for San Francisco? No. [1] https://www.npr.org/2021/04/07/984919925/san-francisco-school-board-rescinds-controversial-school-renaming-plan https://www.npr.org/2021/04/07/984919925/san-francisco-schoo...

  > The more than 100 recommendations included payments of $5m to every eligible Black adult... I'm not sure why ideas like this get floated when the number makes it DoA, and even hurts the credibility of the campaign.

    The bad idea hurt the credibility of the campaign the most.
