"Anti-Exploiter", the problem with your analogy about the faucet is that the problems we are dealing with are more on the level of the flow of a river than that of a simple faucet that can be shut off.

The issues we are dealing with are systemic and could not be solved by just a few activists, no matter how big our couches may be. While helping people in need is a good thing to do, and I have seen both Robert and Becky do it, small acts of charity will never fix a system that is broken. While Robert and Becky never truly get to the root of that systemic problem, at least they educate on some of the many local problems that do exist.

It is my opinion that most of the lawsuits that Robert and Becky have against the City government are a result of the wrongdoing by said City government. I support Robert and Becky in fighting these violations of democracy by the City of Santa Cruz. Blame for this wasted money should be put squarely on the shoulders of the Santa Cruz government.
