I can tell she really does care about the homeless people and the communities as well.
I wish her all the best !
Make sure some of them live by you Karen
as long as democrats pay for it out of their own pockets, I'm fine with it – raise taxes to pay for it and I'm taking my taxes with me when I leave
Supposedly the wealthiest nation on earth ( I don't believe that !!! ) And they can't house their own Americans. That is how the powers that be want it to be.
I am a Liberal…albeit older and therefore a little more conservative than before. When 1/3 of the homeless population is mentally ill…you might not expect them to behave as others do. Making sure you turned off the stove or doing your best to be quiet at 2:00 in the morning or to keep your apartment clean so as to not attract cockroaches and rodents is a responsibility not accepted by the mentally ill.
Your neighbors take a bath not just for their own sakes but for others around them. The mentally ill cannot be counted on doing the socially responsible thing…which is largely why they’re homeless in the first place!
It’s about NIMBY and it’s about government contractors charging an arm and a leg. Need to get the corruption out of construction…. Which could be dangerous….
I love Karen Bass but lay off the plastic surgery
Put up posters of LA's homeless at the Mexican border. The reality would make some migrants think twice.
Plus how will we fine our real leaders but on the streets
If you take care of poor, rich people who try and help won't have anything to do. They will never willingly
All these empty buildings. Why are we not filling up individuals that are out on the streets in housing. While these buildings sit empty.
People out on the streets freezing 🥶. Homeless need help, food, place to stay that is stable. Not going to up and leave in six months a year. Have you move.
As I used to tell people years ago, if the problems back then were going to be solved- wars, food shortages, pandemics, global pollution, etc. it would have been accomplished long ago.
The problems with homelessness are so interconnected to such an extent and that aspects of it are so many, that the experts are still trying to consider them all.
The Bible points out that even though people are well intentioned to help others, human reasoning and wisdom are inadequate as shown at 1Corinthians 1:19-25
When Jesus Christ was on earth, he taught people to pray for God's Kingdom at Matthew 6:9,10. This Kingdom or Government will soon replace all human Governments as it says at Daniel 2:44
Jehovah God will then, by means of this Government end pain and death as it says at Revelation 21:3,4
What a great lady. Such great warmth and smile.
Biggest scam going – providing homeless services.
Sad that nothing is required just giving out freebies. Let’s see how many hotels want this clientele.
Free hotels, food stamps, and phones.
Great incentive and way to go holding people accountable.
Its amazing the Wokies at NBC are starting to care sbout Americas homeless! Hey NBC theres a few thousand a day coming from Mexico FYI!
"We can not address everyone"-karen bass. Another parasitic politician sporting a hunger games pant suit, serving as a puppet to protect the profits of her corporate masters. karen bass is a bad fish and we should throw her back…Corporations need to be separated from the state to address 'bribery' aka 'lobbying' of elected officials and embezzlement of tax dollars through 'non profit organizations' and 'programs' designed to fail the people they are supposed to help by offering 'conditional temporary shelter', instead, they should provide unconditional permanent homes to 'EVERYONE'.
The constitution should be amended to include 'Housing as a Human Right' for everyone. Housing and healthcare are basic needs essential to survival and should be guaranteed for all citizens in a 'civilized' nation, NOT used as a profit engine. The homeless budget is a systemic embezzlement scam of corruption, wrapping an economy around the suffering of the most vulnerable and designed to fail…with the cruel intent to continue homelessness with temporary solutions that create a permanent problem… to protect the predatory real estate industry designed to kick and flip people out of their homes…The solution is the ability for the working class to own their own homes…The working class do not need homeless programs…They need reasonably priced homes they are able to rent to own…No one should have to 'apply' or 'qualify' or be priced out of a basic need essential to survival. Never ending bottomless rent is wrong. Rent should be toward the reasonable value of what is being rented until that value is reached in which then it is owned…Renting a space without the potential for ownership should only apply to hotels or vacation space, not a permanent home…A studio apartment or a small home can be reasonable priced at 10-30 k…including the plot of land it is occupying…rent to own will solve homelessness and you do not need to pay an army of non profit parasites a hundred million dollars a year to do it…They can use existing infrastructure, cap and regulate housing prices to reflect the reasonable value…or simply run power, water, and septic down a road where people can rent to own their own tiny home on their own land without micromanagement… No one should have a 'land lord'…Again, no one should have to 'apply' or 'qualify' for or be 'priced out' of a basic need or human right that is essential to survival… Mental health and addiction services should be available if needed, not used as a scapegoat and forced onto the working class for being priced out of a human right to housing by the status quo of high barrier, high cost housing, a predatory bottomless rent paradigm, and lack of workers rights and job security which are the real causes of homelessness, addictions, and poor mental health.
But no one cared when Biden sent billions in foreign aid to oversea countries. But let someone make a valid attempt to get people housed in the U.S. they throw a tantrum. Makes no sense.
Most of em like their tents.
They will destroy any housing you put them in because they are addicts. Sadly, nowadays street homeless are drugs addicts, and they are addicted to cocktail of nasty chemicals such as fentanyl, horse tranquilizer, elephant tranquilizer, sedative benzo, rat poison, nitazenes chemicals, P2P based meth, wasp dope, and other nasty stuff. That is in the pills they smoke all day long. They are quickly damaged mentally and physically beyond the point of repair. If they are aggressive, screaming, talking gibberish, talking to imaginary people, they are on meth and wasp dope. One dosage of P2P based meth causes paranoia and schizophrenia after only one dosage. Street addicts gradually destroy everything. Police does not apply any laws on street homeless unless they spill blood.
Most government programs are set up to create the APPEARANCE of help, but without the reality. Most such programs do not help, and many actually make it worse.
What kind of "housing" does she have in mind? If it's hotel-type premises that are run like a jail, then don't bother. Those are worse than being on the street.

They need to sue the states that send their homeless there first. Second they should just focus on addressing the housing shortage instead of trying to give homeless people any kind of priority because that makes no sense and does nothing to solve the underlying problem.
Crypto investing has brought me great success!!! Irrespective of the economic depression I can boast of over $12,000 every week on my investment. All thanks Mr Michael Williams, thank you for your focus on quality stock/crypto
Note that red states have sent homeless to California for years. Homeless are willing to go because it is warmer.
I've seen tiny house communities for the homeless.
🙏🙏🙏
Conservatives on Twitter blasted President Joe Biden for telling another "ridiculous tall tale" to a veterans group about himself in a speech, claiming that his uncle won a Purple Heart for his actions during World War II.
"My dad, when I got elected vice president [in 2008], he said, ‘Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge.’ He was not feeling very well now — not because of the Battle of the Bulge, but he said, ‘and he won the Purple Heart and he never received it. He never got it. Do you think you could help him get it? We will surprise him.’"
Biden's father died in 2002, and there's no record, anywhere, indicating Uncle Frank won a Purple Heart. Biden is a sociopathic liar, totally detached from reality..
Up to a point in places as gigantic.. as…Los Angeles, California is, housing people. It is a tough job to do! . Congratulations… former Rep. Karen Bass of California …for getting elected to the Mayor’s office.. of Los Angeles! And, you did it..great! Plus, it’s encouraging, you are doing more public service. That’s a hard job …there as well. All the best to you, Housing is a big problem there in a huge city, like L.A. 💞…Good idea! 💜..🛍..💞…☕️
LETS GO TEAM! MAN CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS- OBSTACLES ARE ALL MAN MADE TO THWART PROGRESSION.
And those are millions of brilliant space machines mind any. Invincible and at any time invisible.
