Was on my way home today and while I normally see one or two people run a red light every single day, today there was actually a police officer there when it happened at the intersection of Payne and Phalen! The cops saw it happen, saw me point and gesture towards the offending vehicle, and then they just drove off in a different direction and did nothing about it.

"If everybody who could build built we couldn't build ourselves out of the problems that we're in right now of having housing for the people who deserve housing."

Edit: Really didn't expect this post to be so divisive. You can argue that she's right that we can't build our way out of this problem (despite mountains of evidence to the contrary), and she makes a good secondary point that when we do build permanent housing for the homeless it should come with supportive systems, but those are two separate points and she clearly phrases it as such. To say that I'm taking this out of context is disingenuous at best. She directly states that housing with supportive systems is the ONLY way to help people who are the most vulnerable, not just part of the solution like some in the comments are implying. The number one driver of homelessness is housing unaffordability and the only way to solve that is with massively increasing housing supply of all kinds.

Westbound lane is clear!
