LA City Council May Operate Tent Encampments for 34,000 Homeless

The Los Angeles City Council voted last week to develop an “emergency”
plan that could operate trailer and tent encampments to house 34,000-homeless —
similar to the plan developed by Orange County.
The Los
Angeles City Council on March 23 declared a homeless crisis by
requesting the Los Angeles County Homeless Services Authority implement an
Emergency Response to Homelessness Plan that would provide an alternative to
encampments for 100 percent of the Los Angeles homeless population by December
31, 2018.
The Los
Angeles Housing Authority recently reported that of the 34,189
homeless identified in the 2017 federally mandated count, 25,237 or 76 percent,
were unsheltered and living on sidewalks, cars, tents, or mobile homes.
The report
was released 16 months after homeless advocates convinced city voters they
could permanently solve homeless by passing Measure
HHH ballot
initiative, which raised property taxes by $9.64 per $100,000 of assessed
valuation to fund a $1.2 billion bond.
Los Angeles
County then convinced voters in March 2017 to pass Measure H to provide $350
million per year worth of homeless mental health and addiction services through
a ¼ percent increased
sales tax up
to 10 percent in a number of L.A. County cities.
Both measures
only achieved the 2/3 majority required to pass because of a miraculous surge
from absentee voters in central and
south LA districts that supported higher taxes.
LA City
Council members also recently voted to build 222 units of permanent
supportive homeless housing in each of the 15 LA City Council districts by
2020. The first 122 of the 3,330 approved homeless units broke ground in East
Hollywood in November.
But the
federal 2017 City of Los Angeles homeless count found the population had
spiked by 5,698, or about 20 percent, since 2016. That means despite raising $1.2
billion in taxes, the net number of homeless after the new construction has
already increased by 2,368.
Last month,
the city council voted unanimously to start housing 60
homeless people in trailers on a city-owned downtown lot. But despite the city paying
$2 million for trailers equipped with bathrooms and showers, and funding
allocating another $1 million a year to operate the downtown trailer park, CBS
News reported that local restaurant
owners say transients already hurt their business, and the trailers will make
the situation worse.
The City of Los Angeles told voters it could solve the homeless
problem with the HHH tax increase and $1.2 billion. But it cost Orange County
$780,000 per month temporarily to house 700 homeless evicted from the Santa Ana
River in 400 motel rooms. Given the enormous scale of L.A.’s homeless problem,
that would cost the city about $49.2 million a month.
Orange County Supervisors voted on March 19 to set up tent
cities on county parcels next to public parks in Irvine, Huntington, and Laguna
Niguel. All 3 cities are threatening to file lawsuits to prevent the Orange
County from dumping its problem on local communities.
None of the
15 Los Angeles Districts wants the risk exposure to infectious diseases that
come with a homeless encampment. Breitbart News reported that a hepatitis A
outbreak began among San Diego’s homeless population and has spread statewide.
The latest California Public Health report found 703 new cases,
460 hospitalizations, and 21 deaths.
Rising
Homelessness Among Working Californians… a state that employs millions using
stolen social security numbers and hands out tens of BILLIONS in social
services and welfare!
BE
HONEST! WHEN HAVE YOU EVER HEARD EVEN ONE OF THESE PRO-AMNESTY AND OPEN BORDERS
POLITICIANS EVEN MENTION THE TRAGEDY OF AMERICA’S MILLION HOMELESS LEGALS???
In California, the rising number of
homeless people are not who you may think they are. The Los Angeles
Times editorial board recently drove home that point by personalizing what
it means to be homeless in the United States' second-most populous city in
2018.
Many people think of homelessness as
a problem of substance abusers and mentally ill people, of chronic skid row
street-dwellers pushing shopping carts. But increasingly, the crisis in Los
Angeles today is about a less visible (but more numerous) group of
“economically homeless” people. These are people who have been driven onto the
streets or into shelters by hard times, bad luck and California’s irresponsible
failure to address its own housing needs.
Consider Nadia, whose story has
become typical. When she decided she had to end her abusive marriage, she knew
it would be hard to find an affordable place to live with her three young
children. With her husband, she had paid $2,000 a month for a three-bedroom
condo in the San Fernando Valley, but prices were rising rapidly, and now
two-bedroom apartments in the area were going for $2,400 — an impossible rent
for a single parent who worked part time at Magic Mountain.
Nadia
and her children are among the economically homeless — men, women and, often
enough, families, who find themselves without a place to live because of some
kind of setback or immediate crisis: a divorce, a short-term illness, a loss of
a job, an eviction. In many cities across the nation, these are not necessarily
problems that would plunge a person into homelessness. But here they can. Why?
Because of the shockingly high cost of housing in Los Angeles.
Perhaps the most important thing that
anyone should take away from Times' editors' take on Nadia's situation is that
she is functional adult who is more than capable of improving her lot. Later in
the editorial, the LA Times' editors disclose that she was able to get her
family into a homeless shelter and that she has been able to secure a full time
job doing data entry at an insurance company, where only a few of her
co-workers know of her homeless status.
Nadia is far from alone in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, north of Los Angeles, Santa Barbara is one of the wealthiest
cities in California. There, the New Beginnings counseling center has made arrangements to
allow up to 150 Californians who are either living in their cars or in recreational vehiclesto
be able to park them overnight in the otherwise empty parking lots of local
churches and government offices.
The
clients can park after 7 p.m., but have to clear out as early as 6 a.m. The
benefit is that the vehicles are no longer parked on city streets, which riles
some residents and merchants. And because the lots are monitored by New
Beginnings, the clients, who all go through a screening process, can at least
feel safe while they sleep.
Santiago Geronimo
works in the kitchen of a high-end Santa Barbara restaurant and until recently,
he, his girlfriend and her son Luis lived in a two-bedroom apartment shared by
four adults and three kids. But the girlfriend, Luisa Ramirez, lost her retail
clerk job because of a back injury, and they've lived in a Ford Explorer since
September. Their new home is a church parking lot on the Goleta border.
There
is a common element among many of California's employed homeless, in that many
were living in apartments or houses until one of their household's members
experienced a job loss. Beyond that, many were employed with relatively good
incomes until they lost their jobs, where they soon found that their available
employment options were limited to low-paying jobs that weren't enough to pay
their rents or mortgages.
Then
the evictions came, and they became homeless. All across the state.
Steve Lopez, a LA Times columnist, asked a good question about why
California's working population doesn't move to where housing is cheaper:
You might ask why people of
lesser means don't head to less expensive areas than Santa Barbara — it's a
fair question, and I've written about people who eventually did make such a
move. In Santa Barbara, the answers I got were the same ones I've heard
elsewhere in coastal California. People hold open the option of leaving, but
many are connected to specific places by history, family and employment
connections, and they're not quite ready to give up on a turnaround, move to a
place they don't know, and start over from scratch.
Besides that, local
economies rely on those of lesser means, so where are they supposed to live?
"You know," said Phil, "there's a huge
Hispanic population that does all the damn work around here. Every restaurant
you go into, you can watch them slaving away. And they're taking care of
people's gardens and everything else, and they wind up with eight or 10 people
living in a one-bedroom place."
Until that doesn't work, as Santiago Geronimo found out.
The truth is that many Californians have tried to move to greener
pastures, as many have from California's economically-distressed Central
Valley, where that region's oil industry has yet to recover from
the decline of oil prices from July 2014 through February 2016. According to
Moody's, for every job lost in the oil and gas industry, an additional 3.43 jobs may be lost in
other sectors, creating a negative deficit that other, more strongly growing
sectors of the economy must be in overdrive to overcome, just to get to the
point where any positive economic growth may be recorded. California's Central
Valley lost thousands of oil and gas industry jobs
during the downturn, where some of the impact of those losses are also being
felt in other communities throughout
the state's interior.
In Bakersfield, in Kern County, where many of the state's oil and gas
industry jobs are centered, the city's homeless shelters were forced to turn away Californians
seeking shelter earlier this year because they ran out of space to accommodate
them during a short cold snap, when having to sleep outdoors became too
intolerable.
Some of the economically displaced from California's Central Valley have
migrated to where jobs are available in the state's thriving metropolises, such
as San Francisco and Los Angeles, where they've run into the same situation of
excessively high rents. Consequently, they've joined the ranks of the employed
homeless.
Others are fleeing the state
altogether, paradoxically seeking to escape the
"prosperity" of the state's coastal cities, with the housing shortage-driven soaring
rents and declining quality of life in
those cities becoming a primary motivation for
their flight.
All these things together would appear to have set California on a very
different course than the rest of the United States. At the very least, where
the trends for homelessness are concerned.
For his part, the state's governor, Jerry Brown, refused to declare the
state's homelessness crisis to be an emergency in 2016, which denied the
state's counties and cities any additional resources to combat homelessness.
The state's data for homeless in 2017 shows the results of that decision, where
at the national level, if not for California, the trend for homelessness in the
U.S. would have improved.
California
Wants to Secede? Let's Help Them!
California
is a part of America. But it’s no longer American. It is a foreign state. It is
a fugitive state. The U.S. Constitution and the rule of law no longer apply in
California. Call it, “The People’s Socialist Republic of California.” It’s a
state without a country. But it’s certainly no longer American in any
way.
Liberals
in California want to secede. They are trying to put it on the ballot. They
call it “Calexit.” I say, “Glory Hallelujah." Let’s help make it
happen. I propose 63 million Trump voters join the team. Let's work 24/7 to
turn their dream into a reality!
Millions
of illegal aliens live in California; drive in California with official
state-issued drivers’ licenses; and of course, use those licenses to vote in
California. Millions. That’s precisely how Hillary won
California by over 4 million votes.
California
supports illegal aliens over legal, law-abiding American citizens. They support
illegals getting free college tuition, while children of native-born Americans
pay full fare. They support illegals over police and ICE. Many liberals in
California want to abolish ICE. They want no borders and no immigration
law.
The
Attorney General of California has warned any business owner who cooperates
with ICE will face prosecution by the state of California. You
heard correctly. California will put the business owner in prison, for
cooperating with federal law, to protect the criminal breaking the law.
The
Mayor of Oakland famously played Paul Revere to warn illegal felons “ICE is
coming. ICE is coming.” The Feds report over 800 felons evaded arrest because
of that stunt. How many legal, law-abiding, native-born Americans will be
robbed, raped, or murdered in the coming weeks because of that act of sedition?
A
California judge just sided with the ACLU and barred LA County from enforcing
gang restrictions that dramatically lowered crime. California has once again
sided with hoodlums and gang-bangers over the law-abiding taxpayers.
In
Oakland, a coffee shop prohibits employees from serving police, in order to
create a “safe space” for their customers. Californians hate and distrust
police more than illegal felons and thugs who speak no English and wear gang
tattoos. Really.
All of
this is sheer madness. But California has taken it to a whole new level.
Just
this week the California Senate appointed the first-ever illegal alien to an
official statewide post. Lizbeth Mateo, a 33-year old illegal
alien-turned-attorney, will serve on the official state committee that doles
out money to illegals attending college. In California, illegals now decide how
taxpayer money is spent.
President
Trump loves to brand (see "Crooked Hillary"). Let’s brand California.
It’s not a “Sanctuary State.” It’s a “Fugitive State.” It’s a place that
chooses to let felons and fugitives run free. It’s a place where the rights of
criminals are far more important than protecting legal, law-abiding American
citizens who pay taxes. We are the second class citizens in California.
Here’s
the way to fix the problem. Liberal Californians want to secede. I'm joining
the movement. How about you?
Conservatives
should beg California to secede. We should make it easy for them. We should
help pay for it. Pass the hat. Every conservative should chip in $20. I’ll
throw $1000 to get the ball rolling.
Just
think of elections. Without California, Trump and all future Republican
presidential candidates would win, without breaking a sweat. Without
California, we’d easily win the popular vote. And we'd win the electoral vote
by a landslide.
Next
think of Congress. California has 53 House seats. Democrats lead 39-14, for a
net gain of 25 seats. Send California packing and the GOP gains a 25 House seat
lead. We would dominate the House for decades to come.
And of
course, the GOP would gain an automatic two seats in the Senate through the
subtraction of California. As it stands now, those two U.S. Senate seats are
deep blue Democrat forever. But if California secedes a 51-49 GOP lead
instantly moves to 51-47.
If 63
million Trump voters just gave an average of $20 each to the "Calexit
movement" that’s over $1.2 billion dollars. That’s enough money to help
California secede, with enough left over as a down payment on building a wall…
with California.
