Allows for more adults to be in the work force at a much higher and faster rate, which will raise gdp higher than the cost of pre-school.

The cost is too much for most families. With free childcare, parents will be able to work and it will free up money for other expenses. Additionally, the early years are the most formative and important and early childhood workers should be acknowledged and compensated for their important work.

People shouldn't have children they can't afford. Parents should stay home with small children. Having govt in every part of our lives leads to a loss of personal freedom. Big govt is inefficient and expensive. Becoming dependent on govt is a dangerous thing and is a huge leap toward socialism.

The fact there is not already one or any attempt at common sense enforcement speaks volumes in it's own right. Maybe we need another department and a 10 year study.......

We used to have government funded mental institutions that would have handled this, but Reagan handed this off to the states who didn't have the money to continue funding.

If the City passes this, the homeless will not go away. They will move into the surrounding neighborhoods. Your children will step over the homeless as they walk to school and you will hear screaming all night long..
