@wowforeverNOW Unfortunately, the gear has to improve somewhat otherwise lots of people would be disincentivized to do the new raid (not me, lover of the story)
Used to live in the same building as this woman. She would constantly yell on the phone with CPS saying them taking her children is worse than the holocaust, have loud orgys with homeless people, and built structures in the apartment for other people to sleep. Ended up getting evicted
‼️ Daisy, the drug-addicted, mentally ill, violent homeless woman in @santamonicacity gave a tour of her taxpayer-funded condo at @stepuponsecond (next door to 5 star restaurants 2 blocks from beach!) to @smcloseup
Beautiful apartment w/COLD PLUNGE. Unlimited free groceries from Bristol Farms, Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s and on Wednesdays they get fresh flowers including orchids! That’s why her apartment is filled with beautiful plants and flowers (which we pay for).
She can stay there forever, never getting off drugs, never working, living a pretty decent life in the heart of the Santa Monica tourist district all on our dime.
Santa Monica recently destroyed a massive parking structure next to this to build a luxury homeless condo complex for nearly $2 MILLION/unit & they’re soon knocking down a second one for the same thing.
They’re turning the ice skating rink nearby into homeless & low income housing, as well as knocking down Bergamot Station, the largest public arts complex in the west.
The city is effectively bankrupt - can’t even keep libraries open and is short hundreds of police - but they can come up with the money for this, attracting more homeless voters to guarantee they stay in office forever.
