Sure, most of us can't afford a $600,000 condo in a trendy neighborhood, in one of the most expensive places to live in the country. But if you're homeless in Los Angeles, a condo can be yours!
The new condo development is the first of 118 projects to be built over the next six years to house the homeless and other needy people in Los Angeles, California, according to the mayor's office.

Container housing. Cheap. Goes up fast. Community bathrooms. Goes down fast. Problem solved.

I don’t think this will turn out as well the planners hope. What are the checks to prevent the pricey condos from degrading into run-down tenements in a decade?
I’m sure all the millionaires and billionaires in Hollywood and Silicon Valley would be happy to pitch in a few billion here and there from their spare change jars.
In the nearly empty pockets of taxpayers.

We need a Civil War yesterday.
I predict large increases of homeless, attracted like flies to honey.
To be trashed, the utilities torn out, holes in walls, etc. in no time guaranteed. Homeless people cannot manage their lives, their physical or mental health. How do you expect them to manage an apartment?

Better than the taxpayers homes that pay for that.
Lots of cronies getting rich on providing homeless services and housing no doubt. The billions have got to go somewhere.
I’m sure the city will hire illegal aliens as housekeepers to clean up the units. Can’t expect these ‘unfortunates’ to perform menial labor, now can we?
Liberals just don’t get that fundamentally homelessness is not a housing problem. The heart of it is mental illness and substance abuse. That is why so many refuse to use shelters - they can’t use inside. So, these new condos will have to allow drug and alcohol use which means they will become trashed out tenements in a short time.
All you have to be is an illegal alien to live there.
I’ve always been curious to know what happened to the ‘free community’ electric cars that were delivered to the projects a couple years ago, I think, in Sacramento.
Never been able to find a follow up story on how that worked out.
I suppose if you’re homeless living in a $700k taxpayer condo, you might as well have a $50k electric-taxpayer car parked out front.
A do gooder here in town put up a furnished home for use by a “homeless” family. She stopped by to see how they were doing after the first week. Every inch of copper pipe and wiring, all of the appliances, the furniture, trim and the doors had been stripped from the house. The family was no where to be found.
That’s my fear. A vast majority of tenants will need to work together to be able to hold it all together, otherwise the ones that can’t will drive them out. And another pipe dream ends.
On the bright side, AOC says the world will be a smoking ruin in a decade or so. Spend away! /s
Subsidizing the homeless gives you more homelessness.
