He's just raising the issue. You could argue cities shouldn't even be responsible for homeless populations and subsidized housing. Collecting only 8 cents out of every tax dollar means the responsibilities of cities could easily end with roads, sewers, police and fire.

The problem is that higher levels of government have abandoned these responsibilities.

I guarantee if the mayor came out in support of something SSP forumers like, he would be called a hero, regardless of his governmental jurisdiction.

20,000 refugees a year is a pittance. We've accepted far more during other times of international strife.
