A federal judge overseeing a sweeping lawsuit about homelessness in Los Angeles on Tuesday ordered the city and county to find shelter for all unhoused residents of Skid Row within 180 days and audit any spending related to the out-of-control crisis of people living on the streets.
The lawsuit was filed last year by a group of business owners, residents and community leaders called the LA Alliance for Human Rights. It accuses the city and county of failing to comprehensively address the desperation that homeless people face — including hunger, crime, squalor and the coronavirus pandemic.

Free stuff!
I guess they’ll just have to raise taxes. Provide free housing and they will come from far away.
Absurd.
LA will ignore the ruling and appeal.
No such power exists in the judiciary.
Every homeless shelter and mental hospital in the country will be providing o e way plane and bus tickets to LA with maps to Skid Row.
Can he ban ants at picnics while he’s at it?
Under what authority and law?
If the homeless get free housing - why shouldn’t those who’ve scrimped and saved and worked for their housing get refunds?
And sketters!
In other words the Tax payers get to pay.
How many motels will the City seize to fulfill this order?
Shipping containers! Get your shipping containers!
Transport them to the east, build secure facilities for them in the desert.
The bums don’t want to be herded into housing. They would rather stay on the streets so they can drink their booze and take drugs.
They need a clever acronym for the program, I suggest KIBUTS, meaning “Keep Itinerant Bums Under Temporary Shelter”. An apology in advance to all Jews, for abusing the use of my “poetic license”.(I know it’s not spelled that way.)
I suggest that they eminent domain the honorable judge’s home(s) and convert them into homeless shelters.
Hey!
It’s my cousin Jeff!
And he’s still got that meth head cat with him.
Hey Judge, not only do you not have the authority to issue such an order, but 95% of the homeless are addicts or mentally ill. If you round them up and force them into condos, how you gonna keep’em on the farm. That is why we do not put judges in charge of public policy. Because, outside of the law, most have absolutely no sense. How do you think we wound up with school bussing to destroy urban schools and cities and create white flight? You’re not the only moron on the bench.
I wonder how many rooms are in his house(s)?
