I don't support this without a new bill addressing that the community has a responsibility to its members to help in times of need. I understand not wanting the family burdened just because they're related, but removing that any protections for them doesn't sit right with me, especially with the anti-homelessness going on recently. We need to start helping each other and I feel like this bill falls very short of that.

This bill should not be repealed. We may need it someday when the welfare budget becomes uncontrollable.
