That were doing something about homelessness if its not going to something about homelessness in a visible way, that People Living on the streets feel the impact. That is ultimately what were talking about, more than real people, including many children live in our streets and in unstable housing and cars and tents and the city must absolutely do something about it. I would love to hear more solutions. I think we have done a tremendous amount and we should acknowledge the accomplishments that the city has already made in housing the 10,000 people that we have housed since 2004 and to identify and say this is what we really need to house the next 10,000, these are the resources to make it happen and bring the next Navigation Center online, the first solution that is actually making a difference on our streets. I think that as this moves through the Budget Committee process of which several of us sit on, well certainly have that opportunity. I do think more dollars are needed, but i thin

That said we really want to take a chunk of the i]budget, go over it and see whether we could do ataq things more effectively whether we could do emphasize some priorities better. I dont think you could do the owhole budget. You certainly couldnt do it every other year. ut you could set up a mechanism the budget say every three years or five years to see if the money could be spent better and the priorities were what congress reallyco wanted them to be. Bob . Can i just ask you a quick question . So is what alice describes on the domestic side, is the military really any different . Isnt there a certain amount of the air force, the navy, the marines, everybody has to get their share of the cuts . Broadly, the budget shares havent changed a lot. Thats a fair statement.
