An audit revealed this week that Los Angeles has “lost” $2.3 billion in homeless funding.
Yes, folks, the same city that gave us $18 avocado toast and a ban on backyard BBQs because smoke is traumatic has misplaced enough cash to build a Death Star.
A Peter Griffin-Level Confessional
The LA Controller’s Office report reads like a Peter Griffin confessional:
“We spent $2.3 billion and we have no idea where it went. But trust us, we’re this close to solving homelessness!”
They’re not.
Since 2016, LA’s homeless population has surged 62%, a stat that pairs nicely with their “investment” in sidewalk tents that double as Airbnbs for rats.
Where Did The Money Go? Let’s Check the ‘Priorities’
The spending spree includes:
- $683 million on “administrative costs”—translation: woke-adjacent consultants who’ve never met a fidget spinner they couldn’t allocate funds for.
- $1.2 billion on “services” that sound like rejected GoFundMe campaigns.
- Needles? Free.
- Kale salads at outreach events? Covered.
- Actual housing? LOL, here’s a voucher for a bus ticket to Phoenix.
Compare that to Houston, which reduced homelessness by 63% using boring, right-wing things like data and accountability.
But LA? They’re too busy debating whether to call tents non-permanent domiciles or tiny minimalist studios.
Imagine if Netflix burned $2.3 billion on a Barbie sequel—that’s LA’s homeless policy.
