@manlycoffee where I live, a main contributor to homelessness is unaffordable housing prices; certainly, increasing supply would help with that. However, the government has a long and sordid history with public housing, which has historically been appallingly racist in its implementation.

We also have a big problem where homeowners and landlords oppose new construction, thereby increasing the value of their properties while making housing unaffordable for anyone else. If we could overcome that hurdle, I think it would likely go a long way towards reducing homelessness.

@manlycoffee fair enough

@manlycoffee after some brief research into vancouver taxes, I am inclined to agree that they are incentivising totally the wrong things and clearly need an overhaul.

As for the millionaires and billionaires, it sounds like you think that they make too much given the effort they put in, but I'm not following you on what you suggest be done about it. You propose removing disincentives to improving land, but I'm not understanding how that addresses the issue - that would simply allow them to invest more.

@manlycoffee I am curious - how would you propose to fix the disproportionate incomes of millionaires and billionaires with a solution different from a progressive income tax?

@skinnylatte frequencies in #salinas are pretty painful for many routes, 30 or even 60 minutes 15 or 20 would be a huge improvement.

Also yeah service ending at 6:30pm is not useful for an evening out.

Really hoping they find some funding for improvements!
