Tbh the public is already overpaying severely with the status quo in terms of constantly paying for emergency services call outs.

Many experts have said that money would be saved by housing people instead of letting people unhealthily sleep outside and then spending money on emergency medical care.

Spending more money on capital projects like housing, if that means a pull back on high operating cost emergency services, then that is more financially sustainable than the status quo.

All I know is that the status quo isn’t solving the problem and spending less isn’t going to work.
