way it is and make like -- make life comfortable for them. he is walking in between that and tried to push forward. it is interesting to note he does have optic sense. $1 billion of this is to go to cleanup areas. those are the things you see from the freeways. chances are you're going to see more camps move. the question is, will they move permanently? that is what building a better bay area is about. larry: let's listen and react. >> we are not continuing to do what we have done, we are doing things we have never done in the states history. we are targeting interventions, targeting partnerships and holding all of us to a higher level of accountability. larry: i guess the question is, is more money going to make a difference? i'm sorry, it just sounds like the same speech. >> exactly. is more money going to make a difference? yes. is more money going to make the difference people are looking

for? a lot of people say no. what we actually need is a change in direction, in changing thought in the way we are handling this. we have to separate the mentally ill from the drug addled, from the people just down on their luck and start dealing with it instead of it being a blanket homeless thing. avenue sim is trying to use the current system he has to better that. whether or not that works remains to be seen. he is up for election. larry: we will see. this is a problem that a few years ago was clearly a problem, but then exploded into a full-scale crisis. now everybody is trying to figure out what to do and maybe more money will solve this crisis. >> it won't unless there is accountability. you cannot spend unless you are demanding results in being honest. they recoat thanks for your time. >> mate -- release may be on the way for over 2 million people struggling to pay rent. dozens of state lawmakers are
