Things were always bad with the mishandling of the homeless problem, the Council's/Sawant's war on industry, and so forth. But, the current situation has allowed things to really go to hell fast. I remember thinking the head tax would achieve this, before the council wimped-out and repealed it.
Mishandling? Can we say at least complete failure to perform? It is not at all clear to me that they even tried, they sure have refused to be transparent, and they sure act a lot of the time like the more the better when it comes to Street People....that they are running a Street People Management jobs program. .
