The cities do have the resources to support them - they would just rather prioritize everything else
- SeanAnderson 2y agoThis is like saying that a company, which is going bankrupt and may close, has the resources to keep all their employees employed and are laying people off because they would rather prioritize something else. It can feel true because there's a lot of complexity to the system, but complex systems can still fail given enough structural instability. At some point tough decisions must be made which feel bad to those impacted and weigh heavily on those enforcing the cuts.
