[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a system to provide services to the homeless. You won’t have grifters and criminals on the street in tents if we ban camping on public property and require the unhoused to use the social services provided for them.[/quote] Yes, thank you! And the council just voted to raise taxes on the "wealthy" which advocates claim will "end homelessness." HOW will throwing more money at the problem end homelessness if the city isn't even allowed to require people to use the available services? The advocates on twitter who were championing the tax increase (and basically saying that anyone who voted against it doesn't want the end homelessness) are the same ones criticizing Pinto for not fighting the Park Service on cleaning the encampment downtown (and also criticizing her for being on vacation when the happened, also a ridiculous position). WHAT exactly do these advocates want? Increased taxes that pay for services that aren't used?[/quote]
