"$600K Units" - California Spends BILLIONS On High Rise Apartments For The Homeless

[@asking4mebartender630]

Remember, the families in Lahina Maui only received one payment of $700.00, and they are US citizens.

[@ryantsutsui6684]

Lol, we sent ukraine how much? 175b already, over 4.5k for every citizen of theirs. Hopefully Hawaii wakes up this election.

[@tatianastarcic]

To my own research In USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.

[@bernadofelix]

I've remained in touch with a financial analyst since the start of my business. Amid today's dynamic market, the key difficulty is pinpointing the right time to buy or sell when dealing with trending stocks - a seemingly simple task but challenging in reality. My portfolio has grown by more than 5 figures within just a year, and i have entrusted my advisor with the task of determining entry and exit points.

You’re making an assumption and that’s what they want everyone to sit there and do. These developments are structured under a different assistance program whereby a tenant can pay 30, 40, or 50%. There are many programs under the umbrella of Section 8, not just one. I had a friend living in “affordable housing” and her unit was 50%. That made her still responsible for a monthly portion of over $900 on a fixed income. Why would the money go back? It goes to the landlord, the owner or owners of the building. Every penny.

In the 90’s our corrupt government, nationwide, decided to tear down most of the housing projects and instead pay rents (section 8), bringing millions of renters into the rental market- one of many reasons housing is out of reach for a growing number of Americans, all the reasons created by government- The housing projects were well planned, they were near schools, bus lines, walking distance from industrial areas with work, they had health clinics/hospitals nearby, parks and recreation centers- But they were planned & built during a time when our government was semi decent, semi honest and sorta wanted to fix things, then the 90’s brought us what has become the most corrupt, most disconnected, most self serving government that even surpassed the corruption of the late 1800’s/early 1900’s that brought us the Great Depression and wars- This tearing down housing projects, turning them into lofts for the yuppies then building multi billion $ ‘solutions’ for the ‘unhoused’, anyone can see are failures is symbolic of our times
