LA's Surprising Solution to Homelessness: Taxpayer-Funded Motels
In a surprising twist, the City of Los Angeles, known for its glitter and glam, is shelling out hefty amounts of taxpayer dollars to house the city's homeless population in motels. These are not plush retreats, mind you, but often rundown establishments that seem to have seen better days. While some may argue it's an upgrade from the streets, the conditions, rife with mold and leaky pipes, have left many of these beneficiaries less than thrilled. Ah, the audacity to grumble over free accommodation, right? I mean, you'd think a roof over your head, compliments of the taxpayers, would elicit a thank you, not a list of complaints.
The NBC 4i team revealed that these complaints included stories of motel rooms with mold on the ceiling, leaky bathroom pipes, and air conditioning units that threatened to tumble off the wall. And yet, the city continues to pay a whopping $4100 per month for each room under the Inside Safe program by Mayor Karen Bass. For perspective, that's more expensive than many one-bedroom apartments in plush areas like West LA or Studio City. There's something to be said about the city's priorities when it comes to solving the homelessness issue.
The Inside Safe program, a part of a larger effort to dismantle encampments across the city, is just one of many solutions offered by Mayor Bass. However, it seems the motel solution is proving to be a budget-buster. A whopping $250 million is earmarked for Inside Safe next year, but the city hopes to trim costs by purchasing and converting motels into housing. The question remains, though, will these measures truly solve the homelessness issue or just mask the problem?
