Throwing money?
The DC mentions it, but The Chron had an interesting article about it yesterday, which I can't find on its website for some reason. The United Way gave SF a great grade for youth violence prevention, not because it actually prevents youth violence (they ranked almost last in most categories), but because they had the most programs. Alameda is in a similar situation. It's nice to have such an illustrated example of the idea of "throwing money at a problem." Sadly, here's the solution suggested:
“I think that the county government and private investors need to invest more resources in the community if they expect to see a drop in these numbers,” said Klein.
Throwing money at the problem didn't help. The solution? Throw more money at the problem!
