Cities across the country are dealing with homelessness that has exploded in recent years. In Los Angeles, California, the problem is serious, with thousands upon thousands of people living in tents on the sidewalks.
Democratic Mayor Karen Bass has an idea to solve the city’s problem. She wants wealthy residents to buy housing for the homeless. Good luck.
Do you really think Hollywood liberals like Rob Reiner will put their money where their mouths are? Unlikely.
The municipality reported:
Here’s how a Democratic mayor wants to “solve” the homeless problem
On Monday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) urged wealthy voters to buy housing for the city’s homeless.
Bass made the remarks while announcing the LA4LA campaign, which aims to create housing for the city’s growing homeless population. According to the Los Angeles Times, over 45,000 homeless people live in the city…
So far, Bass’ Inside Safe program has moved more than 21,000 homeless people into temporary housing, according to its website. In his speech, Bass announced the new initiative and asked “the most fortunate” to help finance housing for the homeless.
“We are asking the most fortunate Angelenos to participate in this effort, with personal, private sector and philanthropic funds, to help us acquire more properties, lower the cost of capital and accelerate housing,” Bass explained. “This is the mission of our new capital campaign, LA4LA.”…
“LA4LA can represent a sea change for Los Angeles: an unprecedented partnership to address this emergency,” Bass continued. “An example of how to disrupt the status quo to build a new system to save lives.”

Los Angeles is pretty much doomed at this point.
A year ago Karen Bass was convinced that 95% of the homeless in Los Angeles would accept housing.
After $67,000,000 and 2,000 deaths, it turns out that number was only 0.5%
Bass is now looking for a new revenue stream to finance the gigantic failure of “Inside Safe.” pic.twitter.com/AgiBlyuCdY

The liar Karen Bass @MayorOfLA he told *national news* he could convince 95% of homeless people to accept taxpayer-provided housing
A year and a half later, we now see that only a fraction actually accept housing; many want the lawlessness and access to drugs that Los Angeles offers https://t.co/Nx0aLe144R

Despite all this, Los Angeles residents will continue to vote left. It does not make sense.
