Gavin Newsom is called out for dodging questions after blowing $24 BILLION tackling homelessness without any results

California Governor Gavin Newsom was called out by a reporter after he continued to dodge questions about blowing the state's $24 billion spending on the homeless.

The Golden State's budget deficit is at least $45 billion, a shortfall so large it prompted Newsom to propose painful spending cuts impacting immigrants, kindergarteners and low-income parents seeking child care in a state often lauded for having the world's fifth-largest economy.

California spent $24 billion tackling homelessness over five years but didn't track if the money was helping the state's growing number of unhoused people, a damning report says.

The goal is not to “end homelessness”

the goal is to fund a bloated, woke, political machine which will always come out for Democrats. In that regards, its a resounding success.

If they’re waiting for him to disclose where he stashed it, I dunno.

So he spent about $150,000 per homeless person, and the result is more homeless people. Of course what he’s doing is building an industry. 90% of that money goes to NGO’s, State workers, local organizations and government, and others that do little to nothing that actually helps homeless people. I’m on the wrong end of this gravy train.

Maybe Gavin lined his pockets and his friends pockets with some of the 24 billion.

They will not vote him out nor the person he endorses to succeed him.

It is irrelevant how voters feel. Democrats have full control over the elections.

Start a nonprofit organization to help the homeless, and apply for a government grant. Pay yourself and the staff with the grant money. Put together elaborate fundraisers, and what’s leftover will go to the homeless.

California spent $24 billion tackling homelessness

Outside of football, the verb "tackle" is a worse than useless buzzword. In what sane world did the state "tackle" homelessness"? The very article which misuses that metaphor admits that the State's efforts had no effect. Is the author a retard? Does he/she/it/they/ze not know the meaning of the word "tackle"?

You get more of what you subsidize, and less of what you tax.

Where did the $24 bill go?

You might try subpoenaing the diamond dept of local jewelry stores.

Would I be wrong thinking the FBI went in to that private bank deposit box storage facility in Beverly Hills to launder the money for the politically connected democrats.

Like most Democrat run states, much of the taxpayer’s money gets looted by the democrat politicians who run the states. Kalifornias are so outrageously taxed that Newscum and his cabal of criminals in the State house just have much much more money to loot, hence the $45 billion that has gone missing.

There WERE results: under Gavin the number of ‘homeless’ increased, there were more deaths from overdoses, and on the human degredation scale they’ve hit a new low.

Gavis has to STOP trying to look good and start being good. There need to be clear cut incentives for the homeless AND for the Homeless Industry. The Homeless Industry had taken in enough money in the last 5 years to buy all these folks an upper class house. Instead they buy more misery with twisted toxic incentives.
