Los Angeles Opens Up $165 Million Luxury Apartment for Homeless People
The Daily Fetched ^ | 10 June 2024 | Jason Walsh

Posted on 06/10/2024 6:56:39 AM PDT by Sam77

A luxury apartment building funded by the American taxpayer is set to open in Los Angeles‘s Skid Row for homeless people.

The 19-story building, with 278 units, will open within weeks. According to The Times, the building is meant to be a “self-contained environment that will insulate its formerly homeless residents from the squalor and hopelessness around them.”

Skid row...that ain’t gonna go to well.

Other than there, the largest increase in homeless population is senior citizens..over the age of 50 to 55. About one third of the total population.
Of those, about one half are working seniors.
It is those that need a hand.
But, true to form, what is usual the fat faced keyboard warriors post their usual disgusting crap on this crappy site.
Get your effn ass out and join, or help organizations that reach out to those above instead of your snide little cowardly comments.

Don’t you know, that it’s true.
That for me, and for you.
The world is a ghetto.

Nothing is too good for our homeless and for illegals

New trend is hotels, motels, cabins etc are being given to illegals for “free” (the gov pays the bill with our money), and they are paid more than legal citizens pay for a room, so they gladly open their businesses up to illegals

Another bonus to the businesses is that they can fire the8r help, because illegals don’t want personnel in their rooms, so the rooms remain filthy till the illegals leave- then the business hires so eone tO come in and clean the room cheaper than having staff on hand 24/7 to do housekeeping (which again the illegals don’t want evidently)

Also of note is that groups like red cross and salvation army are given a .ot of money to offer the homeless and illegals all kinds of things, so they horn in on the grift too-

No matter how you slice it, this illegal housing is a huge scam and collosal waste of money- it was esti ated that illegals are costing the gov $140,000 or more per year per person now with the massive amount of “free things” they are given, education for “free”, lawyers fees paid, counseling for the poor abused illegals who don’t get all their demands met Immediately etc, plus much much more.

Lol. Who is going to work there and maintain this place? If anyone wants a free ride to internet fame, just document the rapid downfall of this stoopid idea.

In the mean time Cali owes the federal gov 26 million for fraudulently billing Medicare for illegal immigrants medical visits. Businesses are closing down all over California which means less tax revenue. And they are going to use expensive buildings. I’d rather the $ go to them than Ukraine or wars. But, this is state , not federal $. Newsome doesn’t know how to run a state - economically or in any other manner.

You do it. You'll even make some money off TikTok/YouTube.

Warning, you may get hurt while you're doing this.

Oh and the freeloading illegals can take a break from destroying their rooms every now and again, a d walk down the streets to the nearest shopping centers and steal up to $1000 worth of stuff to get them by for a day or 2. (Until the centers file for bankruptcy and close, then get sued for not providing illegals an easy income and access to “free stuff that is)

More likely the entire chandelier will go. Then it’s time to call maintenance and demand a replacement. Which of course will be provided.

This might attract more affluent temporary homeless who have been couch-surfing at friends’ houses or who have lived in their parents’ basements. They may have the resources to scam their way into permanent free housing. They might somehow pay off the real homeless to take over key areas like the lower floors. Some floors could turn into brothels. New illegals could take over much of it. The current homeless camp might be temporarily reduced while this plays out.

278 apartments is like spitting in the ocean when millions of illiterate peasants cross the border unimpeded every year ...

People won’t believe it’s the same place.

Newsom is just repaying a big donor for his support at taxpayers expense; a Pelosi technique.
