How many billions have we already spent? How many billions have we committed in previous votes?

Why would we believe throwing another $9.3 billion, plus $2.5 billion per year would make any difference?

Seriously stop wasting taxpayer money on a lost cause. I say start with mental health care and drug rehabilitation. Once you get them stable and clean, they should be able to take care of themselves.

How many times do we need to see this movie? There have been multiple 3, 5, and 10 year plans to “end homelessness”. All have failed.

Conveniently no diagnosis as to why or which treatment options are appropriate for various homeless segments. Nor are recipients of public funds required to prepared audited statements as to outcomes.

Why not prioritize those most likely to become productive members of society or families with minor children for assistance?

The report recommends passing the $10 billion ballot measure and passing legislation to make it easier to build new housing, especially rental housing.

So you blow a billion dollar measure on consultants lawyers and ngo ceos, so of course the remedy is pass a 10B one…

When will you take responsibility for your failures and stop dumping on the people who fund this all, tax paying citizens, and the people who house non owners the most cost effectively, the landlords?

never, because you dont listen of have to listen, you are entitled to take without accountability

That’s expenditure, public (taxpayer) expenditure, not “investment” [sic].

And stop viewing the federal government as a parent, including for sponging.
