Ive been hearing a lot of concerns about efficiency which i think is really important to talk about as things are already moving slow and the problem of homelessness is not progressing, but the way i look at it is solving these solutions require multiple input, and it is more inefficient to get plans that wont work and have to start over than do our Due Diligence on the front enter, crafting initiatives on the issue of homelessness and having to go back because we redid it wrong the first time .
