“This mayor only talks to people who will go along with whatever he says. He might have some homeless advocacy groups that he tells to get in line behind this plan, but he refuses to speak with actual homeless people. It’s like he doesn’t think homeless people have anything to offer. Well, we do, because we’re the ones living in his failed system, and we’re the ones who will have to live with the consequences of his policies, and any plan that doesn’t take our demands into account is doomed to failure – like the homelessness plans of his predecessors.”
