A $1.2 billion program intended to quickly build housing for Los Angeles’ sprawling homeless population is moving too slowly while costs are spiking, with one project under development expected to hit as much as $837,000 for each housing unit, a city audit disclosed Wednesday.
.............................
Most of the units are studios or one-bedroom apartments. The audit found 14% of the units build exceeded $700,000 each, and one project in pre-development is estimated to cost almost $837,000 per unit.
In a tweet, Democratic Mayor Eric Garcetti appeared to dispute any suggestion that the program – formally known by its title on the 2016 ballot, Proposition HHH – was off track.
The program “is producing more units than promised, at a lower cost than expected,” Garcetti wrote.
And liberals wonder why we fight tooth and nail over giving Democrats any more of our hard earned money in taxes when they so blatanlt waste it because they are literally the dumbest people on the planet.
LA spending up to $837,000 to house a single homeless person
A $1.2 billion program intended to quickly build housing for Los Angeles’ sprawling homeless population is moving too slowly while costs are spiking, with one project under development expected to hit as much as $837,000 for each housing unit, a city audit disclosed Wednesday. About 1,200 units...www.yahoo.com
That cost per unit seems very high. Even if the units are 800 square feet they should be able to build them for less than 200KAnd liberals wonder why we fight tooth and nail over giving Democrats any more of our hard earned money in taxes when they so blatanlt waste it because they are literally the dumbest people on the planet.

I've seen math that shows that it's cheaper to house homeless than to try to provide support services to them on the street. But probably not at the cost of those particular units. Something has gone very wrong there.I also wonder what the additonal costs are per unit/person which are yearly costs? Utilities, free services, food, free drug paraphernalia,.......
Just so a sick person in need of treatment can sit around and shoot up in taxpayer funded housing they're likely to destroy.

Yahoo is a conservative news source. If there was any truth to it, you would have seen the exact same article on a liberal website.
On what planet?

LOL! Yahoo is far alt-leftYahoo is a conservative news source. If there was any truth to it, you would have seen the exact same article on a liberal website.
The only planet people live on, of course. Duh.
It’s easier to attack the source than try and defend the shockingly high overrunsIn what world would Yahoo be conservative? I suppose the half dozen Huffpost articles they have running at any given time must give them away as super secret conservatives.

In her response, Sewill identified several factors that contribute to the cost of HHH projects, including requirements to pay prevailing wages and provide higher energy efficiency standards, accessibility standards and furniture. In addition, she said, projects developed on publicly-owned land, such as the one costing $837,000 per unit, include requirements for community amenities such as clinics or child centers, raising their cost.
Yes, including the Day Cares and Health Clinics on site!This means the title is misleading. The price tag is for one unit and all of the building's public areas.
That would explain why costs are higher.Yes, including the Day Cares and Health Clinics on site!
A different source for information regarding this issue, a much better source with plain information on what is really happening and why costs are as they are.
Also less obvious anti humanity bias in the article below that the OP linked piece.
L.A. paying up to $837,000 per unit for homeless housing. Audit raises red flags
Costs for Proposition HHH-funded projects continued to rise and only half the projects are set to be ready for occupancy by 2023, the audit found.www.latimes.com
This means the title is misleading. The price tag is for one unit and all of the building's public areas.

ETC
As well as enhanced code requirements not to leave out the huge costs in building materials.
Because that cost is not just for the 4 walls where one person will live but is the total cost when all the property price is added, all the infrastructure is added, all the special code applications in the construction are added, all the non living building units that are added in on that location and divided by the number of units. It is misleading math to say one unit cost $837K.By all means, explain how a single unit can cost $837,000?
In addition, she said, projects developed on publicly-owned land, such as the one costing $837,000 per unit, include requirements for community amenities such as clinics or child centers, raising their cost.
I never said it was OK.So on top of the outrageous costs of housing units, they also get an onsite health clinic and free day care?
Only in a liberal mind would this be ok.
