California Gov. pulls millions in funding for San Diego County sleeping cabins

State leaders are backing out of their offer to contribute $10 million to place 150 tiny homes on a lot on Jamacha Road near State Route 125 in Spring Valley.
At first, County Supervisors approved the plan, but then changed their minds after neighbors objected. So now the state is pulling its money.
Instead of giving it to us for another project in the county, they're sending it to San Jose.

Honestly at this point its pointless

[@RagTheWorld]

Come on - Someone needs to show some Math on this issue: $3 million per year in MAINTENANCE COSTS for 70 sleeping cabins??? That's about $3500 per person per month. That's enough money to subsidize a very nice apartment home for each and every person, PLUS luxury services. There are THOUSANDS of empty apartments throughout the Lemon Grove and Spring Valley areas that are renting for much less than the annual "maintenance costs" for these 70 sleeping cabins, not to mention the design and construction costs, which is likely a low estimate at $10 million. Are homeless people highly objectionable in some way, that we must keep them segregated from "normal" people who live in neighboring apartment homes? How would providing security and monitoring of 70 people in established apartments be more costly than doing the same work within a 70-person tiny-home community, other than the logistics of visiting each different unit, which would be an extra 20 minutes of travel and a dollar of gas more? (Are all homeless people violent slobs or something, or is there some zombie thing going on with all the homeless that I'm unaware of? Are they all drug addicts, and they need a kind of sleeping cabin rehab community?) Shouldn't we be integrating people we intend to "find" permanent housing, into potentially-permanent housing in the first place?

Bad idea!!!

[@Arlo360-Official]

That's over $157,000 per cabin. And another $43,000 per unit to operate. Who's paying for this?

[@nadogrl]

Well duh, WE ARE!

[@thomasgentry6201]

You!

[@thomasgentry6201]

@Barsavius Fine by me. NOT my Money!

[@victoriamccullough6464]

Exactly

[@victoriamccullough6464]

NOT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD...

[@computerguru70]

with 24 BILLION missing and unallocated for homelessness why is this surprising?

[@user-vj2xk7xn7s]

How about lower cost of living first

[@Guest2022_]

Vote Red, Vote rep, vote 4 trump!

[@peckerpeter2078]

So what zoning is this classification to have 70 cabins? Any and all should be able to buy any property and do the same as well!

[@thaarealdeal4349]

What a joke my state has become 😢😢

[@sdflyr]

Had enough yet? Vote Republican.

[@abcamacho6187]

They're just as bad

[@GoldenTroutBFS]

Treatment centers!

[@thomasgentry6201]

JAIL!

[@KralTube2]

Can't afford to live here unless here illegally.

[@FrankGallagherr]

Who else loathes Newsom

[@tylershrader962]

What a joke those houses they’re literally a couple feet away from each other. What are you guys expect is gonna happen. These people need real property around them spacing themselves out from one another. Are you guys freaking kidding me? What do you guys have education? Are you guys just trying to profit some more just like the rest of the country right now

[@CaliforniaMISC]

NIMBYS

[@michaeltabanao8092]

No worries we are going with the Mega Shelter for everyone in the Country, Down Town , what's 10 million, when your spending billions 🤷.......it's a business of unaccounted money....

[@jasperstromy2778]

Now that's a dictator

[@aleio16]

Good job Spring Valley NIMBYs

[@aleio16]

that's sarcasm btw, you guys are lame

[@PHUCKyoutube689]

How many homeless do you personally shelter? You probably don't pay taxes nor do you own a hime so you could care less. No one wants a bunch of illegals and drug addicts in their neighborhood.

[@noelhutchins7366]

Undermine the churches reach over state-regulations; enforce separation of church & state by law: tax political-special-interest-donations by 50%, & remove Tax-exemption for churches. Run with this and revive it whenever it dies, champion, separation from special interest contributions, cults are no different, hiding as a church, special-interests are perversions of reason.

[@Dwn2Race]

Democrat Utopia… just imagine how much went into Newsoms pockets….

[@Registered_Democrat]

They have to use the tax payer money to support people that entered the country illegally.

[@Guest2022_]

county supervisor approved it. It won’t be for the homeless. It will be for the migrants with family for housing just like what’s going on in nyc.

[@smckay6438]

So the mayor (IS) just a dei hire ? Great failure , its not like the dude floods houses or anything? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@yourfrontdoor13]

She is just looking for money in her own pocket

[@nadogrl]

*Allegedly?

[@thomasgentry6201]

Yuppers the Homeless advocates and politicians steal a pct of the Money!

[@tylershrader962]

What are you doing? Don’t build all these units in California or at least put them in a far away area away from the main cities is away from the hard-working people that don’t want to be around people that smoke meth and are addicted to drugs andalcohol alcohol. There is a ton of property out in the high desert get all the homeless people out of the cities so I may be I would want to go there again. You can space everything out so far in the high desert where you would need less security because people would actually be free and away from each other.
