This is also why there is such a proliferation of "non-profits." They form an org and then apply for grants, and get them. And then media such as the LA Times, produce stories about the issue that are like press releases from those same orgs.
Bingo... and right on point about news outets like the LA times. The billionaire who owns the LA times own daughter is a well known ally of the far left and a "defund the police" activist who bought her way on to the West Hollywood Public Safety Commission where they removed 5 deputies from patrol and replaced them with unarmed safety ambassadors even thought crime is up over 100% in that city over the past couple years. Nothing worse than a rich elite socialist destroying the quality of life for the rest of us who don't live behind gates and walls with private security.
Thank you for this post. The corruption is staggering. Are you suggesting that the LA government really doesn’t want to solve this problem?
I am not sure that the ridiculous approaches we see in response to the homeless crisis are intentional. It seems that politicians and the public alike want to pacify their guilt by handing a panhandler $5 or suggesting we just “give people a house”. In order to really impact this community, you will need to get uncomfortable and involved beyond stupid utopian suggestions. Please consider my recent posts, I will look forward to learning more from your posts.
How can we fight against this and force them to actually help the homeless??? Seriously?? What can we do?? Do we need each city in LA County to have their city council hold them accountable?? Does each city have an organization that is dealing with the homeless issue on behalf of the community?? A group that believes in helping the homeless, yet keeping the community safe. This is the only real "State of Emergency" that we have in CA and our govt isn't dealing with it at all. We need FEMA or the National Guard (is that the same thing??) and get people off the streets and the help that they need. We need a solution. Yes, it is a complex issue, but this can't continue to get worse. Do you know of groups that are already trying to work together to hold our elected officials accountable??? How can we band together and fight this??
