I'll cut them a deal. LA can send me a check for merely $500,000; and I'll agree to never camp out on their streets. I also expect some sort of formal recognition for helping them meet their targets of reducing homelessness.
- RIMR 5y agoWe get it, your socioeconomic status makes you confident that you'll never be affected by this problem, and you have no interest in improving the world for the people who are.
- zdragnar 5y agoThere are a lot of places in the country where you can live very comfortably for years on 500k. The idea that the only solution to homelessness in LA is to build $500-800k units is plain pure foolishness.
- banannaise 5y agoSure, assuming that you start out with solid physical and mental health. Guess what homelessness does to a person's physical and mental health?
- linksnapzz 5y agoFunneling nearly a million bucks per homelessperson-head into the pockets of politically connected developers is not "improving the world", unless you happen to be one of the developers. The quanta of utility that they get from this will be much larger than any homeless person who gets a dwelling out of it, especially since they most likely need medical and supervised psychiatric treatment more. My ability to see that LA is not actually looking for a solution, leads me to want to capture some of the cash they are foolishly setting fire to in order to prolong their problem. Also, my socioeconomic status is such that I could really use a half-mil, tbh.
