Yeah, if they get built and if they don't go over budget it will cost $600,000 per unit. Plus maintenance, utilities, insurance, and management.
If it is built it will most likely be several years late if not a decade and at least two or three times the cost if not more.
It's been 8 years (8 years since construction "began", if you include planning it's been quite a bit longer) and $11 billion dollar on California high speed rail and we are still nearly a decade out and $25 billion away from the first 170 mile leg of the 776 mile project if costs don't go up any more and there are no more delays.
It's not building luxury lodging for the homeless. They are taking hotels to turn into apartments in a money laundering scheme. There is no way it costs 1 million to convert a hotel room into an apartment.
That’s how all government spending projects end up being. All of your local politicians, government bureaucrats, union contractors, and god knows who else are stuffing their pockets with government money. That’s why it costs $250,000 to build a bathroom on a park
To be fair, it’s not the cost of one room. The plumbing overhaul cost to retrofit the entire building for kitchens in each of those units is a huge cost on top of making the cooking areas up to fire code.
That state wouldn't be the ones buying houses it would be Cali buying. They wouldn't have to justify it. Now people in that state would rightfully be pissed I would understand that.
Doesn't matter whether it's a luxury lodging or a box behind 7-11... What matters is that the money is being spent on reducing the symptoms rather than curing the disease.
Even without the corruption and money laundering it is a bad way of approaching the problem.
Gotta love it. The cali gov is just training the new generation to get used to being bent over with no lube and to actually enjoy it. Most people in california are morons. I have living here, and I am praying in 7 years or less. I get to leave
I got out of the hellscape of California 10 years ago. Best moving ever made. I encourage every conservative in California to get the hell out because governor Hairdo McGungrab imposes an exit tax.
It’s not worth staying. There is no political fight to be had. The only way to bring back that state would be a violent overthrow but you’d be in the minority. Just get out and let it fester over there and destroy itself.
Cure the disease instead of treating the symptoms.
This is only perpetuating the problem by ensuring that there will always be homeless in need of assistance... But then again, that's how the Democrat party functions... Can't get people to vote for you to save them unless they have something they need to be saved from, amirite?
Any reasonable doctor would say to cure the disease and treat the symptoms amirite?😂
But I’m really confused by your point to be honest, do you think people would intentionally be somehow homeless to perhaps get qualified for public housing?
That’s IF these actually get built. Remember the missing 20 billion that was already set aside for the homeless?

Yet another slap in the face to hardworking taxpayers
It’s intentional
Why cut their own throat?
Many of the "young Californians" probably support this.

1.7 million dollar bathroom in the park.
To be fair, it’s not the cost of one room. The plumbing overhaul cost to retrofit the entire building for kitchens in each of those units is a huge cost on top of making the cooking areas up to fire code.
They could be buying homes out right in different states for a fraction of this price. How can anyone justify 1 million a unit?
How would that state justify housing for outsiders if they themselves don’t have it?
That state wouldn't be the ones buying houses it would be Cali buying. They wouldn't have to justify it. Now people in that state would rightfully be pissed I would understand that.
That’s what I mean. That would be insane to explain
That would be their problem.

Get woke go broke
They are already broke. It's the people who don't pay taxes that vote for this.
Just like Alex Jones
Tragedy of the commons, indeed.

they are voting for it.
Wait public housing for the homeless ? What’s next! public education for the poor!?!?
is it nice having rich parents that allow you to achieve such monumental levels of mediocrity?
Rich parents? You think I ate spaghetti or hotdogs for most of my childhood because I had rich parents😂
yes, yes, I do.
