    I can relate. They tried to seperate my teen daughter and I. We ended up taking a small studio up a bunch of stairs because no disabled accessible housing is available. We are in a very dangerous neighborhood.

    L.A had millions to create housing for the homeless. The majority went to creating just the blueprints. There was not enough to start on any actual construction.

    Instead of spitting all this millions of dollars on meaningless short-term solutions they could be building lots and lots of housing with it. Not buying old property but building new property. Corporations investing existing property are consuming property rather than building property which is a true investment and not a confiscation with really cheap money and huge profits for investors beyond your understanding.

    Rent prices are so high, even with that income she can't afford it. Calculate: rent for a 3 room apartment, buy food, gas, energy, for 3people, afford clothes, car repairs, health insurance, medication etc. AND pay tax. Who knows if she also needs tooay back depths? She might be able to afford a converted van, or a tiny home. But for 3people?

If it was you & your family - children and mom. , you wouldn't want too be treated this way ! Give this women. Help or a home ~ After what she's been through - enough ! Your help drug addicts - how about helping single mom and here family ! With all the money in Ca . this is just wrong ! Start coming up with solutions that worked to help families and people in crisis ! CA needs to stop waisting its resources ! Find a way to get things done !
