Modern Socialism Fail: LA Mayor Begs Rich People To Buy Homes For Homeless

What happens when a city becomes a haven for the homeless, protects them, nurtures them? What happens when they’ve invited them, legal residents and illegals? What happens when they’ve overspend their already high budget on initiates, including homeless, and still do not have enough money to deal with the issue?

LA Mayor pleads for wealthy to help buy housing for the homeless: ‘Unprecedented partnership’

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass pleaded with “the most fortunate” to help fund housing for the homeless as part of a new strategy to tackle the crisis during her State of the City address on Monday.

“We will not hide people but what we will do is house people,” the Democratic leader touted as she began her remarks on the city’s struggle to house over 40,000 homeless people. “The crisis on our streets is nothing less than a disaster.”

Bass touted the success of her signature Inside Safe program, which moved over 21,000 homeless people into temporary shelters, according to The Associated Press. She insisted this “strategy” and “system” moving the homeless into temporary housing would eventually end the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles.

Acknowledging the costliness of this endeavor, Bass asked the wealthy to help “speed up” housing purchases for the homeless.

“Right now, we’re working to move past nightly rentals,” she continued. “We are asking the most fortunate Angelenos to participate in this effort, with personal, private sector and philanthropic funds – to help us acquire more properties, lower the cost of capital and speed up housing.”

“This is the mission of our new capital campaign, LA4LA.”

In 2023, Bass allotted $1.3 billion for the homeless in her budget proposal. The city is spending billions and billions each year, to go with all the money the state is spending. And they were spending an eye popping $837K per person to house them in 2022. Even with the cost of real estate and homes in California this is nuts. So, now the city turns to begging the “most fortunate”…how soon till these Modern Socialists say that anyone who has housing is “most fortunate”?….to fund the issue that the Democrats have caused. And, how many of these “most fortunate” have voted for the Modern Socialist initiatives which helped create the outsized homeless issue? Of course, how many have abandoned the city due to crazy policies?

Taking care of all the homeless, and giving them homes, will simply entice more homeless to come to LA, especially when the city mostly goes easy on them. Anyhow, have fun, because you know the city will soon look for ways to force the “most fortunate” to fund this.
