Don’t bother official-type people with stuff like numbers,
Housing the ‘unhoused’
in California behind schedule, above estimated costs.
From Ace of
Spades HQ
The
audit states that “more people are unhoused today than when Prop. HHH passed in
2016.” Plagued by high costs and major delays, Proposition HHH has left
taxpayers with a $1.2 billion bill, and even more homelessness.
One of the most egregious
parts of the report shows the cost of new units being built to house homeless
residents. Most units being built are meant to accommodate one person.
There is at least one
building in the predevelopment phase that is expected to cost $837,000 per
unit. Another 12 projects being planned or built are expected to cost more than
$700,000 per unit, and another 41 will cost more than $600,000 per unit.
Despite the measure passing
more than five years ago, only 18 projects have been completed so far. Another
65 projects are under construction and 27 projects are still in the
predevelopment stage.
But
the good people of Los Angeles voted for this fiasco, so let them have it good
and hard. Unfortunately this sort of destructive behavior is widespread in our
leftist-controlled cities, and even in some bucolic suburbs on the outskirts of
our urban hell-holes. And by "destructive behavior" I don't mean
bums; I mean idiot voters writing essentially blank checks to their equally
idiotic but more malevolent politicians.
(Voters who
do not realize where money comes from are stupid. Also stupid are voters who don’t
yet realize politicians and bureaucrats who get your approval will spend every
penny and then some. You are nothing but a piggy bank to be cracked open at the
whim of liars and charlatans.)
