If you pay organizations per homeless person, you get more homeless people and the NGOs fight hard to maximize the homeless population.

Whatever you incentivize will happen.

The fraud in California is insane.

Gavin Newsom has “spent” $24 billion to end homelessness.

Homelessness actually increased by 35,000 people.

Where did that $24 billion really go?

The statement is part of a public discourse on homelessness and government spending. It suggests that incentives can lead to unintended consequences, such as increasing homelessness. The conversation critiques government policies and spending, implying mismanagement or inefficiency.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly harm but implies criticism of current policies.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    It respects privacy but could be seen as indirectly critical of organizations involved.
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement aims to promote understanding of policy impacts but lacks empathy for those affected. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    Engages in criticism of policies without personal attacks. [+1]
