Opinion: Bass’s budgeted homeless initiative in Los Angeles: Letters
Re “Bass signs revised $13B budget for 2023-24” :
It’s wonderful that Mayor Karen Bass is focusing on the homeless crisis so vigorously, but as a taxpayer, it’s important to also focus on costs. Many of the homeless being housed have been put in motels with leaking pipes, mold and broken appliances. As shown on a recent newscast, the rents for these hotel rooms ran $3,000 and $4,000 a month per room. Who is negotiating these rates and why are we trading tents for hovels? The other of the mayor’s ideas is to buy the hotels. While a good idea, I hope they negotiate a good deal because they are still going to need to go in and make these apartments liveable. Costs matter.This letter will be very short and to the point.
Could we conclude that public health restrictions save lives? See more factual evidence at many statistical websites, including worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us
