>Magnera, however, says she's more determined than ever to use city code to carve out space for people who have none. "I'm going to keep pushing," she says. "I feel it's my role to speak up for people who don't have a voice."

Funny how those people want to say the same things you do.

This is fucked in every which way.

If you want fewer homeless provide affordable housing at public expense.

If you don't have the spine for that stop making unenforceable laws which will drag developments into the courts and delay them further.

"If you want fewer homeless provide affordable housing at public expense."

When I worked in Manhattan and did not want to pay Manhattan rents, I lived in Jersey City or Brooklyn. America is a huge country. If you can't afford to live in an expensive city, you should move.
