CA may have benefitted from a ‘FED pumped up” stock market, but the future is not that rosy, and
CA still has the largest Public Pension debt of any state –
“Report: At $1.5 Trillion, CA Has Nation’s Largest Public Pension Debt Load” (June 2022, CA Center Square).

Even the LATimes recently reported on the unsustainable cost of these programs,
“Affordable Housing in California Now Routinely Tops $1 Million per Apartment to Build”
(LA Times, June 21, 2022)

“More than half a dozen affordable housing projects in CA are costing more than $1 million per apartment to build, a record-breaking sum that makes it harder to house the growing numbers of low-income Californians who need help paying rent…”
“In comparison with private sector development, low-income housing is often saddled with more stringent environmental (CEQA) and labor standards (unions want their cut). ”

All of these over $1 Million dollar so-called “affordable housing” projects are in the Bay Area.

Roosevelt Park (80 units) in San Jose – over $1,009,707 per apartment.

“You CANNOT Build your Way Out of Homelessness,”
“It was the LA Homeless Authority themselves that said for every 100 that we house,
they’re replaced by 120 more on the street…
that math seems to elude these people … our elected officials.””
– Sheriff Alex Villanueva, (LA Sheriff and law abiding, taxpaying citizen advocate)

More Fraud & Waste by Govt officials and Grifting ‘Non-Profits’ in pursuit of their
Profitable ‘Homelessness’ Business Plan has become a Black Hole for Taxpayer Funds.

We need Public Officials with a Backbone like LA Sheriff Alex Villanueva –
who do not put up with the Homeless Industrial Complex and Bureaucratic Bull—-…

“You don’t have a right to negatively impact the community and claim public space as your own”

“LA Sheriff Slams ‘Homeless Industrial Complex’ Grifters Who Profit Off Crisis –
‘They’re raking in money, not by the millions, not by the hundreds of Millions, by the Billions…’ ”

The ‘Non-Profit’ 501 C-3 organizations – tasked with providing comprehensive health care services to low-income residents categorized as homeless,
have TOP Level Employees with a total payroll of over $2.8 million earnings –
ALL Compensated by Public Taxpayers and Private Companies…

LA spends over $1 BILLION annually on homeless services, while homelessness has only gotten worse.

Homeless Encampments, Trash, Blight and RVs still line the sidewalks around the project and neighbors are still afraid for their safety.

These ‘camps’ are inundated with Tents, Trash, Needles, Drugs, and local business owners’ shops continue to be Vandalized.

“You CANNOT Build your Way Out of Homelessness,”

Villanueva says his office is going to START ENFORCING the LAW,

citing California Code 26.600.
It states the sheriff… “shall preserve peace, and to accomplish this object may sponsor, supervise, or participate in any project of crime prevention, rehabilitation of persons previously convicted of crime, or the suppression of delinquency.”

“You don’t have a right to negatively impact the community and claim public space as your own,”
