The @CityofSanDiego is proposing to exempt itself from almost all of SB 79.








$100M spent today, gets 100 people indoors 5 years later with the status quo approach. That’s not scalable, it’s not humane, and it’s certainly not progressive to create the perfect solution for the lucky few, while leaving thousands of others to die on the streets. In San Jose, we changed our approach. We didn’t tax people more; we spent their dollars better to address their biggest issue. Three years later, we’ve reduced unsheltered homelessness for the first time in a very long time — and helped thousands get back on a path to self-sufficiency. Our answer can’t always be to spend more; we need to spend better. I plan to do that statewide once elected.



Democratic candidate for CA Governor Matt Mahan says he won't raise taxes if elected, will audit programs every 90 days. He says results would be posted to be held accountable by public, "not by highly organized interests that ...sit in Sacramento ghost-writing legislation."
