With about $300 million allocated to the problem every year, in significant part funneled to the city’s countless homeless non-profits and activist organizations with nothing but shameless, abject failure on their resumes to show for it, there was the reasonable question of how more revenue could possibly help a city with no clearly stated intention for the money, let alone a strategy. The mayor advised an audit on current spending, and the composition of some coherent plan, before further funding was tapped. This was widely considered heartless.
