“Housing the homeless should not be the goal. The truth is most of them would just destroy the properties”
Pruitt-Igoe?
That’s not unusual.. road construction here for a 5 mile stretch is guaranteed income for life. The only thing that seems to change is where they put the orange cones and barrels. I’d be farther ahead with a shovel and wheelbarrow on a 4 day work week.
You can have Open Borders, or you can have Affordable Housing.
You cannot have both.
the way to get more low-cost rentals is to change laws about eviction. if it was easy to evict and then remove bad tenants you would have more private rental for poor people.
I laugh every time I see articles about creating affordable housing in Los Angeles, or anywhere in California. It will NEVER happen.
It took me 3 1/2 years to go through the crap the Building Department mandates and it cost over $300,000. Just to build a 3 bdrm 2 bath house on my property. I will retire in a year and leave this godforsaken State I grew up in and sell everything I have here.
Say what you want about Rand, but she sure had human nature pegged.

In many ways she sure did.
The city wants to build 450,000 new units of housing by 2029
