Because it’s faster and cheaper to prevent the problem rather than clean it up afterwards.

- fragmede 1y agoSure, but somehow I don't think banning poor people from reproducing is likely to go over well, so what makes this stage the right place to stop the problem at instead of earlier/later?
- lotsofpulp 1y agoThe right place to stop the problem for a city/county/state government in a country with freedom of movement is different than the right place to stop for a federal government with immigration controls. I.e. SF is never going to be able to fix the problem of people being too poor (or addicted or mentally ill or whatever), due to arbitrage opportunities.
