One day won't do it.

But a week or two might. And a children's strike in the US would crush this country.

County Announces 5 Winning Ideas to Build Housing for L.A.’s Homeless

POSTED 6:54 AM, FEBRUARY 16, 2019, BY LOS ANGELES TIMES, UPDATED AT 07:07AM, FEBRUARY 16, 2019

One idea is to assemble micro communities out of polymer panels. Another is to revive the iconic L.A. bungalow courtyard. A third is to convert two-car garages into studio apartments across suburbia.

https://ktla.com/2019/02/16/county-announces-5-winning-ideas-to-build-housing-for-l-a-s-homeless/

_______________

And I support projects like this which will give twenty percent of the new apartments to homeless people...

On Monday, we broke ground on The Grand on Grand Ave. in Downtown LA, which is slated to be complete in 2021. The project was designed by Frank Gehry, best known for his design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall across the street. The Grand will feature shops, a movie theater, a 20-story Equinox hotel, and a 39-story tower with 113 condos and 323 apartments, 20 percent of which will be available to low-income residents. - From Kathryn Barger's newsletter.

_________

It is great that progress is happening on the issue of housing for the homeless, and also new centers are being built for Mental Health, etc, a lot of good progress is happening. The voters sent a lot of money to help the homeless and the mentally ill, and the money is hitting the streets finally.

Salute,

Tony V.

I hope she gets long dicked by some brown guy and leaves your wrinkled ass in the outback.
