@hardlynormal It’s an industry that should never be designed to sustain itself. Yet grossly underfunded for the task at hand. Everyone suffers for it. Most of all those who need housing and those with lived experience who are now working in it…. My opinion only
I don’t think everyone remembers that Zelensky was the leader on the other end of the “I want you to do me a favor though” phone call. I sense the first impeachment sounded kinda obscure to some people. But withholding lethal aid was both an actual crime and a moral crime.
Having been in closed door hearings with him leading up to the first impeachment, I can tell you definitively: Devin Nunes is straight up dumb. Can’t wait to see him “lead” Trump’s media company into the ground.

ANTI-VAXX PROTESTER: Do you see all of these homeless people around. Are they dead in the street with COVID? Hell no. Why?
HOMELESS PERSON (walking by): Because I’m vaccinated you dumb fuck.
If we want to end homelessness, we need to hire the best people. To do that, nonprofits must offer competitive salaries. If an executive is creating results in reducing homelessness, fucking pay them! Hire more people like them!I say this as someone who worked free for 12 years
A homeless friend was placed into housing a month ago. He immediately started to quit drinking and has now stopped completely. Now he is working on working on his heroin addiction. This is what the dignity of housing does. Housing gives people a purpose to get up in the morning.
The homeless sector has spent millions of dollars on research and zero on educating the public on homelessness. The result is most people still blame homelessness on the homeless person instead of the systematic causes of homelessness.
I am noticing a trend from Los Angeles politicians that is being repeated by local media saying after encampment sweeps that "xxx people were placed into housing," when that is NOT THE TRUTH! Of course, this is meant to increase support for more police action!
I believe strongly that what we see in Echo Park Lake today is just the beginning of madness as the homeless crisis continues to grow. Politicians must stop trying to solve homelessness by spending the least amount of money and half-assed measures that only help a few.
