#2,341 - Taxpayer-Funded LUXURY High-Rise for Homeless in Skid Row: Gym, Café, and Skyline Views! News For Reasonable People

- News Commentary
The city of Los Angeles is unveiling a taxpayer-funded high-rise for the homeless, featuring luxury amenities like a gym, café, skyline views, and stainless steel appliances. The project, costing $165 million, includes 228 studios and 51 one-bedroom apartments, each priced at $600,000. Critics argue this approach is misguided, pointing to the history of such projects being rapidly destroyed by inhabitants struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues. The Skid Row Housing Authority's recent bankruptcy underscores the challenges of maintaining these units. Despite noble intentions, this initiative may fail without addressing the root causes of homelessness and ensuring adequate support for residents. The disconnect between luxury housing and the needs of the homeless population raises serious concerns about the efficacy and sustainability of such projects.
