@scottsantens@hachyderm.io The frustrating thing is none of this is surprising. Giving the money directly to the people does two things: 1. It doesn't punish the unhoused people for the "sin" of being poor, and so those who base their personalities on being better than others have one less group to look down on. 2. The money comes out of budgets of departments and businesses that it replaces, and they don't want to lose it. We know this solution solves a problem, but not the one those in charge want solved.
