As a society do we value homeless or contributors ( taxpayers ) more?
When you enact policies and taxes like this you reward being homeless and push out people who contribute. You say, 'yes, it's ok to shit on my sidewalk and leave needles everywhere and accost my children as they're walking to school.' And yes, that's an extreme, but it happens everyday in SF. And, to me, it's unacceptable. It's unacceptable that we allow that.
In short:
You: "But, What about the homeless people?" Me: "What about my children who have to step over their shit on the way to school?"
