A judge commandeers #LA #CityHall in campaign to curb #homelessness. Our Wartime Council whined with excuses after blowing $100+M without making a dent. Judge Carter, throw the book at them! They got off too lightly in the past. @boreskes takes us inside. https://www.latimes.com/homeless-housing/story/2020-08-07/a-judge-commandeers-l-a-s-city-hall-in-his-campaign-to-curb-homelessness

Hopefully the 6-hours of pathetic testimony by ineffectual #LA #CityHall politicians won’t deter the Judge from extracting action after tens of millions wasted with worsening results. State & Federal oversight before further spiral. https://www.dailynews.com/2020/08/07/la-leaders-accused-of-failure-to-address-homelessness-try-to-show-progress-to-federal-judge/ via @ladailynews

#LA #homeless about to spike even higher. It’s not the landlords or lenders fault but it will displace people into #homelessness. Judge Carter, it’s crunch time for holding #LA City Hall in contempt. Week after week of weak excuses.

Fuzzy Politicians, Math & Our Future. Does #LA count its #homeless, or make its best guess? A little of both, it turns out. Tracking @MayorOfLA @LAController @LAHSA budget & the homeless population is an exercise in uncertainty. #Federal Oversight https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-08-18/does-l-a-count-its-homeless-or-make-its-best-guess-a-little-of-both-it-turns-out

Does L.A. count its homeless, or make its best guess? A little of both, it turns out

That’s $48,000 per #homeless for portable fences & used pallet temporary shelters on City owned land. Judge Carter needs to hold #LA @MayorOfLA @Planning4LA @CityAttorneyLA & Council in contempt. The @USArmy Corp of Engineers need to take over. #COVID19 https://nextdoor.com/post/158893174?init_source=copy_link_share

Pallet shelters cost $5,000~ X 270 shelters = $1,350,000. Why is the budget $13M? @PaulKrekorian @LAController turn over a detailed budget. @FBILosAngeles Is a contractor making a killing selling tiny pallet homes for 20x their actual price? https://www.palletshelter.com/64-sq-ft-shelter
