Homelessness jumps 12% in L.A. County and 16% in the city; officials ‘stunned’
Posted by Solver 4 years, 10 months ago to Government
“In a hard reality check for Los Angeles County’s multibillion-dollar hope of ending homelessness, officials reported Tuesday that the number of people living on the streets, in vehicles and in shelters increased by about 12% over last year.“
“As rent continues to increase and wages remain stagnant, the potential for individuals to fall into homelessness increases,” said Joel John Roberts, chief executive of PATH. “To counteract this imbalance, we must continue to invest in solutions like permanent supportive housing and push for legislation in Sacramento.”
They see the problem. Their solution is always more laws and stricter collective planning. Oh well, who is John Galt?

and there's the problem - Permanent Supportive Housing? what exactly does that mean...... free roof over your head for life without work? Is not this one of those states with an elevated "minimum wage" ? Hows that working out?
Guess what, official stooges? More are on the way!
Well duh, you get what you subsidize.
Because if they had understood it, they would not likely be these “officials” that need to loot people to help people.
Mention AS and be prepared for blank stares or disparaging insults.
On a post-it note I wrote “well then next time don’t lock your bloody car door” and I pasted it on his window. For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge ing Idiot.
Cher rightly said we need to take care of our own homeless vets that number over 50,000 in LA.
