Hi Folks:
I went to testify at the truth in housing meeting last night. Many of the
Property Rights people were there.
I was brief this time -- about 30 seconds rather than 3 minutes. I made
two points:
1. The city should be about police/fire/public works and the county should
do social services.
2. The city needs to learn to distinguish between legitimate affordable
housing non-profits who actually do some good and poverty pimps -- such as
CCHT and Alan Arthur, who feed off the public trough at the expense of the
poor, all the while saying they are providing services for the poor.
There is way too much duplication in government services, and this is a
luxury we cannot afford. This duplication in service is also bad for
customer service -- because this begets turf wars and that sort of
competitiveness between departments.
