    Create a homeless problem > let it get out of control > ask for funding > corruption happens > money disappears.

    Not surprised. Homelessness is BIG business for politicians and their friends.

    It’s how government launders money. Which is why it’s not accounted for. If it was taxpayers doing this, then they’d be in jail by now.

    It took 5 years to figure this out? The public could have easily told you this.

    I remember woeking with a girl who worked for LA Metro and she worked in accounting. She reported that books didn't add up. She got fired. That's here in LA, not Russia or China.

    for every $100 , $2 to homeless $98 to politician , wake up
  • I bet a billion dollars that very little of that ever got to any homeless people.

    In the pockets of the politicians. . .and their "philanthropic companies" What a mess.
  • Sadly, this is not surprising. They don't want to solve the issues because the issues are too lucrative.
  • @mike8857
    Why would they solve the homeless problem? It’s like asking the DEA to solve the drug problem. Solving your way out of your job.

    Politicians are getting rich 🤑 and raising taxes to keep people poor.
  • Big thumbs up to Josh Hoover state assemblyman for requiring the audit that shows what we already knew as corrupt mismanagement of funds
  • @reyrayo2502
    This is absolute bull crap People who promised to help the homeless took the money and left 😂😂
  • @LAKitchen
    This is TAX PAYER money!!! Let the government decide how to spend our money, what could go wrong....
  • @morningmona
    And yet they came at me to pay $8.32 cents last year to pay an outstanding 2017 tax fee…ok.
  • We already try to recall Newsome. No much we can do any more. Democrats will just propose a new bill and give money to whoever is office. While the rest of us is stuck with ridiculous rent prices. New propose bill every year asking for money
