Which is odd because every government program torn down in the last 50 years has almost immediately resulted in a resurrection of the bad behavior by private corporations it was meant to stop.
- hackernewds 3y agoDoesn't imply the opposite isn't true either. Spending on "fixing" the homelessness crisis in SF has ballooned as expected and a lot of nonprofits and agencies well positioned to take advantage have benefited from the unhoused bull market

- kmeisthax 3y agoThe fault here lies with the SF electorate, who collectively wants their housing investment to be protected and homelessness to be fixed. Actually, I would argue that this isn't even a conflict, because SF homeowners probably do not want a durable solution to the homelessness crisis. That would require bulldozing the suburbs. They instead want SF to sweep the homeless under some proverbial rug so that their presence does not tarnish the value of their homes. House them, but house them somewhere else. This isn't even an instance of the Shirky principle, it's just people using words in confusing ways.
