If you provide more homeless services you get more homeless—every time.

They’d better secure their elections first.

Hard to find, but it DOUBLES the “homeless tax” from 1/4% to 1/2% on top of the existing 10% we have here in LA.

But also “...we spent over 24 billion taxpayer dollars on this crisis”, but apparently not enough. A year ago, “75,518 people were counted” as homeless. That’s over $320,000 already spent per homeless person, yet the situation gets worse and worse, and the only solution is always more money.

We've had so many tax hikes and bond measures passed over the past several decades to "end homelessness."

Yet the problem has only grown.

They could raise mine if they promised to use every nickel sending the 30 million back to their Third World cesspools.

Send more illegals and crazy homeless. The amount of money california spends should “cure” their homelessness.

“The initiative] will…make housing more affordable and it will create a pathway out of poverty for those who are unhoused.”

Highly doubtful.

I think they also should be taxing the crap out of the homeless, too.

I voted in LA county for decades before recently moving. I can tell you that most tax hikes and propositions that cost LA county taxpayers money usually don’t pass. They go down in flames to be exact. That they’re getting this one on the presidential election ballot shows they know there will be a lot more voters turning out and lots of the casual and new voters won’t really be ‘educated voters’ and the tax hike is more likely to pass.

I would still put my money on DOA from the voters, though. Just an educated guess.

THE NEW high rise with 278 units for HOMELESS costs almost $600,000 a unit.

I bought 3 properties in past 58 years:

1. $25,250-—in Los Angeles—3/2 city lot

2. $105,000-—N Calif log house on 5 acres

3. $140,000-——Over 5 acres & NEW house

TOTAL== $270,250

Is anyone going to vote for this? Seems like it will be defeated like 4-1.
