Today's Bee Letter: Are Democrats failing to address homelessness?

"Two career Democrats prove why they're terrible leaders for Sacramento" p. b10 3/31/25

Your editorial about Supervisors Serna and Kennedy criticizing Supervisor Rodriguez' comments concerning the county's homelessness strategy is a perfect example of that (Democrat) Boss Tweed's saying: "I don't care who people vote for as long as I can pick the candidates."

Both parties are willing to come up with millions, indeed billions, for a sports arena, or an expanded jail, but nobody's willing to propose rent control--and the majority of homeless people are victims of rents rising faster than incomes. A local version of Section 8 rental subsidies is also off the table. The important issue here isn't how Kennedy and Serna "mansplained" to Rodriguz. It's the money, and neither "side" in this debate brings that up.
