And the problem is the whole government is siloed by budget. So there's so much money for housing, so much for labor, so much for criminal justice, so much for human services, so forth. And what we fail to do
is say, how much of this money in housing is helping leverage the investments we're making in healthcare or in reducing the criminal justice spend because we unfortunately have no crisis response.
