Pair this with the recent firing of the Housing Bureau director, an international expert on social housing. It seems the mayor wants to abandon the mission of the housing bureau in favor of recreating the services that the County is supposed to be offering.

The Mayor isn't solving a problem, he's forcing the problem into the neighborhoods that are already suffering the most.
