TAXPAYER MONEY WASTED: LA Spends MORE on Homeless Than Firefighters Who Battle Their FIRES
from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds
LA's mind-boggling priorities on full display: spending nearly $1 BILLION on homelessness while underfunding the fire department that responds to flames STARTED by the homeless population. In this exposé, we break down how a third of ALL Los Angeles fires are linked to unhoused individuals, with rubbish fires surging a staggering 475% over the past decade. From unattended bonfires under freeway overpasses to a chainsaw-wielding homeless man cutting down trees on Earth Day—this is what happens when 'compassionate' policies create urban chaos. Meanwhile, Mayor Bass and city officials keep throwing money at a problem they've decreased by a measly 2.2%.How many more neighborhoods need to burn before LA admits its approach isn't working? When will taxpayers demand accountability for this costly policy failure?
