To hide the corruption, LA officials have made it impossible to track $2.4 billion spending on homelessness. The city is paying people to house and care for the homeless without checking to see if it's working. And, obviously, it's not working. That makes the whole thing a scam.

The solution to homelessness is "Housing First," says Gavin Newsom. It isn't. It kills mentally ill drug addicts who overdose and die from permissive negligence. And now, a new audit shows how L.A.'s homeless housing scheme is a grift stealing taxpayer money.

The statement criticizes LA officials for alleged corruption and inefficiency in handling homelessness funds, labeling the efforts as a scam. It implies a lack of accountability and effectiveness in the city's approach.

Principle 1:
I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

Principle 2:
I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
The statement does not respect the dignity of those involved, as it labels the efforts as a scam without substantiating the claim. [-2]
Principle 4:
I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
The statement does not engage in constructive dialogue, as it uses accusatory language rather than offering solutions or engaging in discussion. [-2]
