California's $1.2 BILLION homeless "fix," falls flat on its face.

$26 million dollars per housing unit by my math.

See, all you libs, this is why we don't trust government programs.

Just like the high speed rail system to nowhere. Over budget, over due and under managed. Calif. at it's best, spending and wasting tax payer money.

Doc, the article mentions $550k per unit, not $23 million. They probably didn't waste the whole $1.2 bil, but I'll bet it's more than the $550k. It didn't say how big or show pics of the 'units'. I'll assume these are 1-room efficiencies (not like the homeless have a lot to store/furnish). I'd guess these are like big hotel rooms with a microwave/fridge/bathroom. Even at that, $550k each? Were the walls silver/gold? Insanity.

New Math? LOL

Lots of figures thrown about, but I'm using hard numbers - Amount of the bond/units completed. That could change if they complete more units with the same funds, but they are already saying that the 1.2 billion isn't enough money.

Maybe we ought to tell the homeless in other states that California has free sunshine and housing where lewd conduct is legal hell they can take a **** anywhere and all legal, in fact car theft is legal as long as they don't take the car out of california, oh, the doors of the car have to be unlocked or the owner can't prove that the doors were lock to make it legal, and if you're hungry go to any convenient store and take what you need, totally legal in the great state of california.

Tell them they don't even need to bother robbing rich people, the government does it for them and gives them the money.

California from capitalist heaven to socialist hell in only 50 short years

Send America's "homeless" to California, since California has the "solution" to the problem, then build the wall around Southern California, allow them to become a new state, and then cut all government aid to them and let nature take its course!
