@$600K each -278 units in the 19-story development

“Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith”

I know there is a better way to house people and I know housing people requires a Triage and multitude of treatment options. Do tax payers?

At some point we can only point the finger at this machine, this social steam roller that doubles as high speed train for profitability such that a necessary item like shelter is a gigantic melon and a feast of money arises so men can work.

ABC News reports New high-rise building to house homeless in $600K units in downtown Los Angeles

There are 278 units in the 19-story development known as the Weingart Tower. It’s intended to help people currently without shelter on Skid Row and it will be L.A.’s largest permanent support housing project.

The building will have an entire floor of offices for case workers, in addition to a list of impressive amenities: a gym, art room, music room, computer room and library.

Residents will enjoy six common balconies and a café.

It’s considered affordable housing, but the cost to build this type of project still adds up. Each unit costs nearly $600,000 and it’s being funded by taxpayers.

The $165 million project is receiving permanent financing from Proposition HHH, which voters overwhelmingly passed in 2016. The new tower is also receiving state housing funds and $56 million in state tax credits.

Several elected officials, including L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, attended a grand opening ceremony at for the building. Planned Parenthood provided aborted infants for the corner stone and all were from young people of color who were pregnant on skid row.
