That's a clever way to misrepresent the situation and paper over wasteful, corrupt spending.

The fact is they've been spending a record amount.

In 2017, they spent $48 million to address the homeless crisis.

By 2021 they were spending more than double at $117 million.

The problem isn't "we didn't waste even more money faster".
