The only failed public policy is the one that creates such a jaw-dropping amount of homelessness in a country with 11 million millionaires.

And that failed public policy isn't prop 13. It's a policy of expecting cities to deal with their homeless problems.

Nah, it's pretty much prop 13.

Nonsense.

Neither Seattle or Vancouver have prop 13, and they are dealing with a homelessness crisis. Neither does Hawaii, Vegas, etc.

What they all have in common is a federal government that doesn't give a shit.
