American cities across the country are experiencing a massive uptick in homelessness, but perhaps none more than Los Angeles, California.
Skid Row used to be confined to a one block area but now tents and other makeshift shelters can be seen throughout the city.
Billions of dollars have been spent trying to address this issue but it only seems to get worse, and now one member of the city council wants to create a new city department to focus on the problem.
How many more millions will be wasted as this new government entity fails to solve the problem?

The Homeless-Industrial Complex continues to grow. It California, LA and other blue cities and states, it’s now another vested interest feeding at the public trough. The problem will never go away now, because that would endanger the ever increasing flow of funds to all the various “stakeholders”. Having a permanent bureaucracy to oversee it all (and ensure its place in the annual budget) is just the next logical step to building more permanent government funded organizations that employ lots of Democrats.

Director of the Homeless, pay $250,000 per year, 24 hour limo service plus a pool home in Malibu. Work from home so no contact with the homeless scum.
Applications now being taken but restricted to LBQCXWXYX Democrats.

A whole department to ensure homelessness. Yes that sounds right.

Is the goal of this department to find a solution for homelessness or to maintain a problem?

To save money and make it more responsive, the Department of Homelessnes should have no offices but instead be quartered on the street or perhaps under a highway bridge.

Sure, more bureaucracy always fixes things. Long history of success it I’m told by the smartest bureaucrats.

Ta-Da! Another boondoggle star is born! Take your worst problem and celebrate the diversity of it all. Follow the tracks to the deeper-er and worser-er. Might as well make up the adjectives, too.

(While this is in a municipal context, it will be a test run for spreading to Washington...)

We already have such a department. It is the Department of Homeland Security lead by Mayorkas.

And THIS is why the problem of homelessness will NEVER be solved in this area: too many people are making money on the fact that it exists. If the problem goes away tomorrow then so goes the grants, budget allocations and all the bureaucracies designed to "combat" it. A whole lot of bureaucrats are going to have to start looking for real jobs.
You know, this is how the Deep State got started, and it's also why DJT has been getting a whole lot of grief since he vowed to "drain the swamp." Once again, no one has any real interest in eliminating the issue which is keeping them employed and paid.

#1 hits it out of the park, and is exactly what happens in every other 'problem" where Democrats look to create a massive government program that will require massive amounts of revenues to support all of the new government workers, their office buildings, computers, cell phones, salaries, benefits and pensions.
Very little will be leftover to do anything close to solving the problem of homelessness.

Another government agency that will consume money and resources, produce nothing, and then blame the mess it made on the other party.
I have seen this movie too many times.
