Only in LA, homeless people live in better housing than working class people. And of course, this apartment is all paid for by working class people’s taxes. Great job, LA!
Many street homeless die alone quietly abandoned by everybody. What's even more sad is their bodies get eaten by other homeless and stray animals and simply disappear.

You should have tried to get better housing elsewhere outside of downtown.Its still Skidrow at the end of the day.I was down there 16 years,I finally moved to Dallas and left that crap behind.
Well, one of the news stations interviewed two separate new (previously unhoused) tenants - and they seem pretty decent and intelligent. Also, the reporter said 40 percent of the units are being set aside exclusively for veterans, plus some of the unhoused people actually have steady jobs and are going to have to pay 30 percent of their earned income for rent. The politicians are finally starting to make more sense these days, in that they seem to have figured out that they need to first get the gainfully employed, non-addicted people (whose jobs simply don't pay high enough wages and salaries to afford today's ridiculously overpriced rents) off the sidewalks first to rapidly bring the sheer numbers of skid row tent city residents down... And then work on housing the residents with more complicated issues later.

This is the exact opposite of what they need to do. They house a few hundred , then a few thousand move in from other states hoping to get the same deal.. The cynic in me believes that's the plan and they have no intention to actually solve the problem.
Each unit cost 600K??? Something isn’t right here. Some people quoted too much and were paid too much. Too many heads of this project got way too much money. Nope nope we need better people leading these projects.
I bet this wont take care of any of the unhoused around me, they will still be living under the freeway in their pile of trash while screaming up and down my street

As an Angeleno, this makes me furious. Give the nice highrise apartments to working people. Productive people. Upstanding people. Not derelicts, drug addicts, and criminals.
I don’t really get the point. It only houses a few hundred people. There’s almost a hundred thousand homeless in L.A. What do they really hope to accomplish
People who have been living the outdoor life for any length of time MUST get remedial training on how to transition back to living indoors!!! I've seen the homeless TRASH places, by treating them like they were hotels, and still living like they were still in a tent! Remedial classes, on how to live a civilized life!!!
I also want to be homeless. I work so hard and can't afford a luxury apartment. I pay taxes for lazy people . This democrats are a disgrace to their own working citizens
How do I get to live in a $600k condo? Should I become homeless first? I'm tired of paying 2k to live in downtown in an apartment, rather just quit my job and live there, would be a lot easier
hella good time to be homeless in LA. i mean i got no problem housing the homeless but the fact that they had to spend 600k per unit for each individual is fkn sickening. this whole "humanitarian cause" is blatant bs cover for corruption.

Plus don’t be surprised if use this shelter to provide housing to homeless illegal immigrants.
Maybe the good people of the community should have focused on creating jobs
for everyone instead of the select few. I commend the politicians.
600k managed by a "nonprofit." Yea right. You think there are not deals with the builders?
"affordable housing"
Is all absurd.
Free money and debt can not be sustained.
Within the year it will be a dump
True that could happen but. We shell see
I give it six months.
2 months tops..
It’s already happening. Trust me. I know.

High rise building with beautiful view. Are these homeless given free furnitures, stoves, refrigerators etc. Who pays the utility bills??? 🤬.
Who pays for maintenance?
@@YouAdii Who else? Tax payers.
I work two jobs to be able to afford my apartment in L.A. And they get to live there basically for free?? WTF
Um would you rather they be homeless hungry and ready to commit crime whilst you walk by them every day?
They pay a third of their monthly income.
@@tempsitch5632 Oh. I stand corrected.
They should have to work to get an apartment. Even if they have to clean city buildings.
nobody hires homeless people! theres the rub!
@@bite-marx have them clean for the city....and they're not homeless anymore.

I might as well be homeless
I feel stupid working. Thanks LA for discouraging people to work

This is going to be interesting
This is insane. These units will be trashed in no time. The homeless need drug rehab and mental health services not luxury apartments.
Follow the money, see what’s really going on!
Oh for God’s sake! Unhoused? What’s wrong with Homeless? I grew up with the word Bums. Next they’re gonna be known as Permanent Residence Challenged.
💯😂
Hahaha a PRC person! you just coined a cultural term
This is total b.s.
At least it’s better than giving them to Venezuelans or Central Americans
Giving the homeless to venezeulans sounds like a great idea.
Well done!!!
Lapd needs a substation on every floor of that building.
😂
Unless you like your life to be wild and crazy, you're not going to want to be in this place much longer.
☺️
I bet this wont take care of any of the unhoused around me, they will still be living under the freeway in their pile of trash while screaming up and down my street
Haha, wow, the unhoused are gonna be living large! Maybe I should move into a tent so I can get one of those high rise units! Haha😂
Bout time we get some positive news around here. 😎
Do you love white people?
That’s the most ignorant reply in the comments.

Maxine has a new wig for the opening 😂
Failed state...........
Weingart Tower will be "The Carter" before we know it. Clean urine and maintaining employment need to be mandatory.

Remember what politicians and party pushed for this at the next elections!
will be ruined in about a year
*instantly
Thank You Jesus
This is absurd. Not one word of truth spoken in this embarrassing promotional material. This is embezzlement and fraud.

Thats nice this buildings are getting build for the homeless.😊
We need more yes and it's a awesome job
I hate what this country has become!!!

You get who you voted for.
I also want to be homeless. I work so hard and can't afford a luxury apartment. I pay taxes for lazy people . This democrats are a disgrace to their own working citizens
Alllllll on tax payers wallets... smh
There's a lot of homeless. People that will hopefully be so happy to get off the streets

278 UNITS? AT WHAT COST? 600K EACH, WHAT A WASTE OF OUR MONEY.

One way to contain them all in one spot. It's called hiding the homeless
