Just saying. Despite what you’ve heard, Proposition 36 will not help people struggling with addiction ocregister.com/2024/09/22/de…

Despite what you’ve heard, Proposition 36 will not help people struggling with addiction

We need restorative justice initiatives that focus on family reunification in rehabilitation programs, investment in reentry processes, and paid entrepreneurial programs.

Little bits of freedom get fought for, then they come under attack, then the “advocates” come and try and negotiate. Don’t give any of it back.

Los Angeles city government has pursued a cruel, expensive, and ineffective policy of criminalizing people’s unhoused status through arrests, tickets, and property destruction. New film and report out on the cruel and ineffective criminalization of unhoused people in LA ⤵️

One other lie of omission from Krekorian: he is correct that LAHSA is not a city agency, but he is full of it when he says the city has "no control" over LAHSA. Notably, the Mayor appoints half of its governing board. The City exercises indirect control over LAHSA all the time.

Krekorian, in a 2021 letter to the public, promised a "robust street engagement strategy" to go along with the law. Despite this promise, as LAHSA notes, Council provided no funding for services during encampment clearance. They didn't even include basic reporting requirements.
"At the same time, the City is developing a robust street engagement strategy to assist our unhoused neighbors in moving from the street to our expanding supply of interim and permanent housing options, and accessing the other services that can break the cycle of homelessness and save lives."

City Council Paul Krekorian responds to the controversy around the LAHSA/CAO reports on 41.18. @PaulKrekorian's response is unconvincing at best, and deceptive at worst. You can see it here: xitter.cf/ShotOn35mm/status/1764…

In a lengthy statement, CM Paul Krekorian described LAist's reporting on the leaked 41.18 data as "inaccurate in many respects, and highly misleading in total." Krekorian denied that the report was intentionally "hidden" & said that the info was "perhaps deliberately misleading."

Krekorian's lengthy statement does not address a vital point in the @LAHomeless report: 94% of people experiencing #homelessness at #encampments targeted for removal under 41.18 wanted shelter. Only 18% were able to get it.

Paul used the word 'demagogue' not once but twice in this nine paragraph statement.

laist.com/brief/news/housing… Yesterday, LA CAN released its 41.18-report, “Separate and Unequal” demanding that the City of LA release its 261-day overdue assessment of the law. Today, a copy of the hidden report was leaked, confirming our writing. Pressure bursts pipes!

Towing, sweeps, displacement, saying no to low-income housing is CD11. Many of the 100s @MayorOfLA is touting brought inside $ hotels still(!) or back in the streets. All the chearing is about disappearing poverty from the meanest whitest westside ever. So sad to be proud of it (

Great to be in Westchester with Councilwoman Park today. Together, we’ve worked to bring HUNDREDS of unhoused Angelenos inside. Next year, we will continue that momentum.

Unaffordable luxury apartments at $2,000+/month sit EMPTY while tent cities thrive right at their doorsteps. Greedy developers gentrify low-income areas, reducing affordability for existing residents, displacing them, deepening the housing & homeless crisis! #GhostCribs 👻🏠

I'm thankful to my new online friends who've generously shared my story on their page. Sharing is the best way to speed up my journey out of homelessness by boosting its visibility.
