The level of financial analysis here is deplorable, focusing on just one kind of revenue (property taxes) and a very short time period (a few years). The council should be looking at its entire revenue picture over a number of years.
I have no doubt that the city's responsibilities have increased dramatically due to federal and state failure to deal with the homeless problem. But the council (and we) need to see the full financial picture before we can make reasoned decisions.
