Local officials are critical of a new report, released by the National Coalition for the Homeless, that ranks Santa Monica as the ninth “meanest” U.S. city toward homeless people due to its anti-homeless laws.

So this week, Q-Line wants to know, “How well do you think Santa Monica treats its homeless population relative to other cities?”
