Crime "Beautifying" L.A. is not working

Trump and his immigration crackdown policies probably will be a main reasons why LA will look better for the Olympics.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is claiming credit for finally solving homelessness.

Cities throughout California are reporting reductions in unsheltered homelessness as California succeeds in its efforts to address this national crisis. Through Governor Newsom’s support of local government efforts and state investments, California is reversing decades of inaction on homelessness.

Some of California’s largest communities are reporting substantial decreases in homelessness numbers – indicating that California’s comprehensive and strategic approach to reversing this national crisis and getting people out of encampments is working.

Is it really? Why didn’t homelessness drop from all the same programs that were being implemented for over a decade?

The answer is that there was a massive increase in homelessness in America due to Biden’s open borders. This was especially true in California.

A surge in immigration that peaked just as last year’s homeless count was taken accounted for the bulk of its historic rise reported in December, grossly inflating the picture of homelessness in America.

Because the local agencies taking the count across the country do not ask for immigration status, homeless numbers ballooned in a handful of states that took in tens of thousands of immigrants, and those states, in turn, pushed the national number to an unprecedented high of nearly 772,000.

In fact, more than three-fourths of the increase occurred in five states, among them California, that were prominent recipients of immigrants.

A truer picture of homelessness will emerge now that traffic across the Southern border has been down since last summer and tens of thousands of immigrants counted as homeless last January have left the homeless system on their own, Culhane said.

Massachusetts, Colorado and California recorded increases totaling just under 90,000, or 76% of the increase nationally.

The drop in California’s homeless population isn’t because the same worthless failed policies suddenly began working, it’s because illegal aliens are fleeing President Trump’s illegal alien crackdown.

The same crackdown that Gov. Newsom has been vocally resisting and whose results he’s now taking credit for.

“As President Trump pulls away national guard members from important work such as preventing terrorism and stopping fentanyl at our border, and instead orders them to arbitrarily rouse and bulldoze encampments —- without providing help and support to people experiencing homelessness — California is advancing a smarter strategy.”

The smarter strategy is claiming credit for Trump’s accomplishment.

I bet it's pretty minimal in Japan

I meant in the US

When people are stealing money from those it's supposed to help, it's not surprise LA looks the way it does.

It's funny how people like to pick on LA because it gets so much news coverage.. but they probably live in New Orleans, Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, Memphis, Little Rock, etc.

All these cities are pretty much ran by people with the same mindset of coddling criminals and pretty much ignoring broken window policing.

Fascinating

California is the largest economy in the US

LA county has a higher GDP than almost all red states (on welfare) combined.

But yeah, da dems

They got gifted paradise and they’re working overtime to wreck it. That’s why more people are leaving than arriving.

They’re all shit too but LA is more significant to the country and the world so naturally it gets more attention.

Southern California is a desert, it took human design to make it hospitable.

People are leaving for two reasons. White color workers can work remotely since covid. You can get a mansion in some welfare red state for the cost of a 1 bedroom studio in LA

Leading to the second reason, it has some of the most expensive cities in the country with some of the wealthiest people making it more expensive.

Of course people are moving to cheaper states.

Or more likely they live in one of those totally irrelevant cities between NY and CA

Fools on here post threads about CA for a reason and not those irrelevant dumps.

Its that hot cheerleader that doesn't know they exist

Theres a weirdo on the forum who makes posts about CA weekly. He lives in Idaho or some shit. I'm sure he's up in this thread

There's a few people that do that here and in the Mayberry.

Oh well. I consider myself more moderate/libertarian learning. But I'm not blind to the fact that every government is flawed, especially on the Federal level and every state has it's own issues. If you're going to criticize from the outside, at least be able call out there bullshit in your own house... and for the love of God, don't believe everything the media tells you.

Reminds me of when Gavin cleaned up San Francisco right before Xi flew in to visit Sleepy Joe.
But when his Chinese overlords aren't in town, it's a Mad Max post apocalyptic meth/heroin market.

The last time I was in LA, we walked around Venice Beach and as soon as it got dark, all the gangbangers came out. I thought I was on set for the filming of the Colors sequel or Training Day part 2.

Tell me you're an old white guy without telling me you are an old white guy.

Silicon valley is filled with Welfare Queens? Are you retarded? Don't answer that... we know

Awesome cut-and-paste job..............about the wrong city.

 

[Croaker]

Tbf I don’t think this buildings really on the city of LA. If I remember correctly it was some Chinese company but they went bankrupt during covid so the project was abandoned. Now there’s all kinds of legal bullshit that needs to happen before any decision is made about what to do with those buildings. Until then we can’t really do shit like tear it down, sell it, use for homeless shelters etc.

Fuck homeless shelters. Send em to Canada.

 

[freakroor]

If there’s ever a legit investigation into all the money we’ve spent trying to fix the homeless crisis I expect a bunch of fraud to come out. There’s billions of dollars unaccounted for and people have been stepping down from important roles quite a bit. My proposal is to just send them all to Barstow.

the homeless , or the admins?

the homeless , or the admins?

Both imo

 

[mooseman17]

Fuck homeless shelters. Send em to Canada.

Send them all to PEI imo, they will be as productive as the rest of that “province”.

So a city with massive housing issues has an entire building of unfinished apartments sitting empty?

lol...

Lets dig into it... Oceanwide Plaza. Was being built by a... Chinese Company. Who defaulted? And now it's locked up in legal issues because the Chinese Government is involved? And LA politicians got caught in taking bribes from the Chinese Company?

The Oceanwide Plaza became involved in more controversy in 2020, when former Los Angeles City Councilmember, Jose Huizar, who had represented the Downton area and chaired the Council's Planning Committee, was arrested on charges that he had accepted bribes from several developers, including China-Oceanwide, in exchange for allowing their projects to continue

You can't make this shit up



Seriously, no one knows how to hemorrhage money like cities in California.

I’m not saying the building issues itself weren’t ridiculous I was more so calling out your fake news take in your original post alluding to people “working out of it” like it was an office building in use. As a local citizen here I simply raised your awareness to something you previously knew nothing about.

 

[icemun]

Fuck homeless shelters. Send em to Canada.

Send em to red states that have humane solutions for homelessness and poverty

Welfare from California and NY

Did you notice his graffiti collection is *in* his home not*on* his home? His coffee table book gives him license to speak for everyone else on the effects of graffiti

Actually I have a 6-figure canvas collection from artists like Retna (who’s a homie of mine and LA local) so yea as I said I am pretty biased. I find the art beautiful and im a city kid at heart. I grew up in this city and find beauty in the street art. We have entire districts of the city (arts district downtown, silver lake, Melrose district, Venice etc etc) where street art isn’t just accepted but it’s honored and revered. Judging by your quad in your profile pic I assume you’re a country guy which is fine we are likely just from two different worlds. Like I said in my original post beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Nobody knows how to generate money like cities in California either sherbro. We pay more money to the feds than ANY other state and pay double in taxes than the second highest taxed state. So yea since 1849 people headed west for the GOLD that part never changed.
