Every year they are “helping” more homeless people.
They need to open addiction centers. Insanity.
“sat mostly vacant since 2020 as officials have scrambled to secure permits, subsidies and construction financing.“
Typical rat control can’t get permits, chocking regulations eventual Government takeover.
Calvin Coolidge was right about government.
More zillions for the Homeless Industrial Complex. Government Apparatchiks, NGOs, “Nonprofits” suck up all of the $$$$. A certain portion (customary 10%??) is laundered back to the democRATS/DemoKKKrats.
What a COUNTRY !
ICE agents can carry their luggage.
FOR ALL: donate soon. Jim will like you.
Is there no end to the humiliation that Los Angelinos must suffer to bow to immigrant loving lunatics??
Where is the line to sign up for a room?
I think all these years I’ve been holding the wrong end of the taxpayer stick.
Well NewSCUM burned down the Palisades in order to put in low income housing, not ONE house has been built, the only ones that have been “Built” are ones who were already under construction in the first place
California! Americas largest, open air, insane asylum!
Yeah, no kidding.
The concrete was made with saltwater. It's falling apart.
625K leaves a lot of wiggle room for fraud, graft and embezzlement.
If these homeless are American Patriots (veterans) we can hardly complain. If, however, they are illegals seeking to destroy our country, it is a travesty.
It took the 5 years! to get all the permits!
What a red tape!
Wait, you have to fix up a hotel? Why not just put them in the rooms as is? What you doing with the rooms, putting golden bathroom fixtures? A spa in each room?
Don’t tell me that there’s anything even remotely like an honest vote count in California.
