Posted by Spider-Pig on Wed May 13 22:45:33 2026 If I lived in LA, I’d vote for Spencer Pratt, even though his wife burns books for a living. |

Pratt supports increased funding for the LAPD, which sounds like a good idea.But he supports reduced funding to address homelessness. How is that going to work? LA has pretty much the biggest homeless problem in the country. |

That money goes to NGOs who waste the money with graft, or do things that are actively counterproductive.The only way to solve the homeless problem at this point is to criminalize setting up a tent on the street, and arresting them. That’s where the money should go. |

LA policies are to build permanent housing, which is a generational solution. Plus we've had billions in tax money raised for relatively little housing. LA is doing things like buying old hotels to turn them into housing but there are examples of the city way overpaying. Like buying properties for ten million more than the asking price. Something funny is going on but nobody knows where the money is going. It's insane. |

The only way to solve the homeless problem at this point is to criminalize setting up a tent on the street, and arresting them. That’s where the money should go.A lot more money. Yearly cost for incarcerating person is around $100K; the cost for providing shelter is around $36K. |

In LA we are spending up to $1 million dollars on permanent housing and $100,000 on hotel rooms used as shelter. That doesn't include emergency and medical services. |
