The City of Los Angeles is using taxpayer money to defend itself in a lawsuit accusing it of laundering taxpayer funds to “fix” the homelessness crisis, one that has only gotten significantly worse the more money thrown at it.

The City of Los Angeles has poured billions of taxpayer dollars into tackling homelessness, but recent investigations suggest widespread corruption. Billions of dollars remain unaccounted for, and the city is using more taxpayer dollars to defend itself, despite the accusation of the misuse of funds in the first place.

Are you surprised by any of that? Because I definitely am not.

According to the Westside Current:

The evidentiary hearing, which began Tuesday, stems from a lawsuit filed by the LA Alliance for Human Rights, an association of downtown businesses and residents. The group alleges the city and county have failed to deliver on commitments made in the 2022 settlement to address the region’s homelessness crisis. U.S. District Judge David O. Carter has adopted a traditional judicial role, presiding over evidence and argument to determine if the city has met its obligations.

This is what the city has spent billions on to “fix” the problem.

How many more billions do you think it’ll take to finally house the unhoused? Because clearly, the issue is just a lack of housing, and definitely has nothing to do with severe mental illness or serious substance addiction.

Tuesday’s session featured critical testimony, including that of LA Alliance Executive Director Paul Webster, who outlined the plaintiffs’ concerns. Representatives from Alvarez & Marsal Public Sector Services (A&M), the firm responsible for a damning 82-page audit of the city’s homelessness programs, also testified. Through the plaintiffs’ legal team, they explained how the audit found widespread failures in financial management, transparency, and program effectiveness between June 2020 and June 2024.

The A&M audit identified approximately $2.3 billion in funding but concluded much of it could not be properly accounted for. Auditors reported inconsistent financial practices, unverified payments to service providers, and overlapping funding streams that obscured actual spending. They noted that nearly half of those placed in programs returned to homelessness, while fewer than one in four secured permanent housing.

So, it turns out that billions of dollars can’t even fix the issue. And in fact, the more they spend, the worse the situation gets. Who could have guessed?

“The City does not routinely reconcile actual spending to the homeless budget,” the audit stated, describing a fragmented and opaque system that failed to deliver promised results.

It’s not like they could just clean up the streets overnight for barely any money. That’s impossible… oh wait—China would like a word.

Don't you wish that progressive officials cleaned up the streets for you like they do when a Chinese dictator comes into town?

LOL. Only progressives could take a once-great city and turn it into something that feels straight out of the third world.

So, while the City of Los Angeles has hired a fancy law firm to cover up wherever that cash went, don't expect anything but more of the same. Officials throughout the state have proven where their priorities are, and it certainly is not to house a drug addicted population.
