Commentary: All cities in Bexar County should come to the table as a regional group, create solutions and allocate funds for homelessness.
The City of Leon Valley has amended an ordinance that effectively bans and dissuades homelessness from the small municipality.outlawed homelessness
It isn’t that Leon Valley can’t deal with homelessness, as suggested by its director of public works. Instead, the city chooses not to deal with homelessness because San Antonians already do it.police will contact Haven for Hope or Corazón San Antonio for assistanceThis idea is a win-win for Leon Valley. Let other people deal with homelessness. Let other people pay for it.By signing up, you agree to receive messages from the San Antonio Report.
In economics, this is called the “free rider problem.” Free riders use resources, public goods, and common goods, but they enjoy the benefits of these resources and goods by underpaying or not paying at all. Of course, this is not to say that these cities do not incur any costs for addressing homelessness. The police and the public works departments are spending some resources. Still, when homeless services are not budgeted, a local government has yet to address it seriously, and Leon Valley hasn’t. Leon Valley’s hackneyed idea to eject people from its city limits and send them to Haven for Hope is less like caring for human beings and more like taking out the trash.
