When a city allocates just $18 million to housing out of a $115 billion total budget, you start wondering where the priorities actually lie. That's roughly 0.016%—pocket change in the grand scheme. Recently compiled county-level budget breakdowns and began itemizing expenditures by department and allocation amounts. The numbers tell a fascinating story about government resource distribution. Question is: does traditional financial infrastructure deploying trillions actually solve fundamental problems, or are we just recycling the same old inefficiencies at scale? Worth digging into the data yourself.
