Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's (R) recently donated 25 tiny homes to homeless veterans in Los Angeles.

Schwarzenegger donated $250,000 to the nonprofit Village for Vets, which went towards purchasing 25 tiny homes for retired service members who had previously been homeless, according to Fox 11 Los Angeles.

250,000? You can do better then that Arnold.

Arnold made True Lies (which was great) then went politics and died to me. He’s still dead to me. KMA you saggy skinned juicer!

[Lurkinanloomin]

After his true nature was revealed, I have no further use for this Nazi.

[Fester Chugabrew]

That’ll buy a fair number of cardboard boxes in LA.

“True Lies”
Love that movie. Even after countless times seen, will
watch it every time it’s shown. Jamie Lee Curtis, a natural
comic, was a delight on screen. That used car salesman, we’ve all met him at one point during our lives. Sadly, the
two ‘stars’ have tarnished themselves.

That is wonderful. I wish I could donate that much to help homeless veterans.

nice gesture.

here is Arnold’s personal Tiny-House:

I assume Arnold is hooking up his donated little tiny houses on his personal estate so that his “guests” may enjoy the environs with him?

I say give credit where credit is due. If all the other grotesquely rich politicians and entertainers did the same thing, a lot more of our homeless vets would be off the streets.

It doesn’t make him any less a RINO or liberal tool, but it was still a good thing for him to do.

[skeeter]

That ought to be good to produce another 5000 new grifters hoping
for a handout.

Thanks Arnold

A tiny home village for homeless people with about that many was put up about a mile from our house. It hasn’t been quite as bad as I might have imagined it would be because the people the authorities have been allowing to live in them do not seem to fit the typical “homeless” person profile. They all have cars, jobs, are not aggressive panhandlers and the place isn’t surrounded by garbage, broken booze bottles, stollen shopping carts and a cloud of marijuana smoke. But the city spent around $5 million on it and they have several full-time employees keeping it clean... An entrepreneur could have built an actual apartment complex for the same money.

Arnold’s $250,000 is about enough to outfit maybe 2 tiny homes in LA not 25.

Tinsel pretty much comes tarnished.

That movie was back before the Kennedy family turned him.

[Rurudyne]

That post is worthy of some class warfare huckster.

Do not be like them.

Schwarzenegger was not available for comment after he returned to his 12 foot walled 35,000 square foot mansion.

[CodeToad]

Arnold helped create the homeless situation for vets.

Tiny tiny homes...

God Bless the Homeless Veterans.

Tiny is right - crawl in the door and there’s your cot. maybe 8x10 no electricity or running water hook up shown it the pics. So 25 lucky vets get a dry place to sleep, but the other hundreds get nothing. Merry F-ing Xmas, suckers.

Rich Hollywooders should be making movies, taking no pay and giving the money to the homeless. Same for the rich producers.

Because they are already rich and they CARE about the homeless so much.

[faithhopecharity]

I acknowledge your point, you are correct.
It just bugs me how a super-rich man like Arnold can get headlines for making what amounts to a really tiny (no pun intended) feeble gesture for the poor.
Without criticizing his intentions, which may have been good, it is still ... let us say: frustrating......that the mass media publishes this ... I know many people of far lesser means who do a lot more to help the “less fortunate”
... and who get (and who want) no mass media headlines for their sharing and good hearts.

OK, once again I agree with your observation and will try to hone my remarks more carefully. My big complaint is not with Arnold as much as it is with the mass media.
I failed to make that clear.
Thank you and Merry Christmas

Can’t they get a job in the LA area, then a new job in an affordable town and then a VA mortgage on a real house?
