$24 Billion FIASCO: CA Homeless Money Bought Private Jets & Beverly Hills Mansions

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

California spent $24 billion on homelessness in 5 years and can't account for where it went. Now we know why – LA developers just got busted for allegedly stealing millions meant for homeless housing to buy private jets, exotic cars, and a $46,000-per-month Beverly Hills mansion. Because nothing says "helping the homeless" like flipping a property from $11 million to $27.3 million in just 12 days using taxpayer money, right?We break down the fraudulent appraisals, pay-to-play donations to county supervisors, and how the homeless industrial complex has become a goldmine for grifters. Meanwhile, over 1,200 city-owned homeless housing units sit vacant after an $800 million buying spree. The numbers don't lie – this isn't about solving homelessness, it's about keeping the machine running while taxpayers foot the bill.Is anyone surprised that zero accountability led to maximum fraud? How long before these "nonprofit" executives get the same treatment as their developer buddies? Drop your thoughts below and don't forget to subscribe for more government waste exposés that'll make your head spin!
