Another fraud that will end up in Crony Pockets and will not solve one thing for homeless people.

“ It’s a special tax, meaning revenues don’t go into the city’s general fund but rather a dedicated purse. ”

LMAO

I remember when Social Security funds didn’t going to the general fund and work for a dedicated purpose.

That didn’t last long.

The idea is to take the tax money from the prosperous and use it to subsidize the lifestyle of lazy, dangerous drug addled parasites who contribute nothing of value to society, absolutely nothing. In fact they are a drain on society. They are destroyers of society and community.

We all know what should be done with them. They should all be rousted out and sent on a one-way "camping" trip.

“We want to make sure that once this has passed, the housing experts, community organizations, community leaders and people who’ve been doing this work for many years are at the forefront of implementation.”

This is where the money is going. The usual grifters and crooks.

It will be only a few years until California imposes a Dr. Zhivago-type mansion “tax”.

4% for sales of more than $5 million, while transactions that top $10 million would garner a tax of 5.5%
= = =

Why not just say that a 5 or 10 mil house will dedicate 4% (or 5.5%) of its floor space to house the homeless.

A 10,000 sq ft house would allot 400 sq ft for the homeless. That is about 20 x 20 feet. Kind of like a 2 car garage. Put them in the garage. Tell Karen Bass to propose this.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly!

Wish I could post the iconic image of the relevant scene, where Dr. Zhivago welcomes the rabble who have already set up an encampment in this house, and is aggressively rebuffed and rebuked for his arrogance!

“She continued: ““We want to make sure that once this has passed, the housing experts, community organizations, community leaders and people who’ve been doing this work for many years are at the forefront of implementation.”

+++++

Which translates into “I think we have found a new source to use to line our pockets with tax-payer funds”.

Don’t care. Tax them to the highest extent. they voted for this and they can live with it. I no longer worry about these little cities and they’re high taxes. till they learn to vote properly, they can suffer and I hope taxes goes to 90%. the voters want it.

We do NOT have a "homeless problem".

We have a DRUG problem! Those "homeless" don't want a home, they want drugs and people to leave them alone.

Solve the DRUG problem, and the "homeless" problem no longer exists.

Bada bing

But if course, you'd loose yet another thing the 'rats have promised to fix.

They don't want to "fix" anything; they want people to depend on them for everything.....

But you already know that.

There not going to be able to solve the homelessness problem they let it get out of hand now LA is a mecca for every doper slackers and drunks.
The city gives them about $600.00 a month talk about a magnet the only answer to their problem is tent cities in the desert.
