This is directly supporting drug dealers in a never-ending circle of addiction. Criminal! You politicians. Enablers!

Homelessness has exploded in this city. Ultra-wealth has also exploded in this city at the same time. It is past the time for the billionaires to pay their fair share. A concentration of wealth is extremely dangerous to any society. We have to work towards income equality because the gap between the ultra-rich and the poor is known to be dangerous. At the same time, income equality leads to a reduction in crime and improves everyone's wellbeing. Having a stable home will help the homeless get back on the feet. However, if the ultra-rich are continued to be allowed to transfer money from the poor and middle-class up to them, then there will be no jobs, no income, and no relief for many people who are not homeless... yet.
