THE L.A. HOMELESS ARE CAUGHT BETWEEN THE CITY AND COUNTY

L.A. City And County Fight Over How To Shelter Homeless People Living Near Freeways

A hearing about the moving of homeless people living near freeways was canceled Wednesday after the city and county of Los Angeles couldn’t agree on a plan for how to comply with a federal judge’s order.

Last week, U.S. District Judge David O. Carter ordered the relocation of up to 7,000 people living near overpasses, offramps and onramps, saying they face severe health risks from tailpipe emissions and car crashes. He directed the city and county to submit a plan for how to make that happen.

Talks between the two sides broke down Tuesday night after a dispute over who would pay tens of millions of dollars for the services at shelters and other sites that would house homeless people who were moved, according to court documents.

County officials proposed a “shared funding arrangement” but did not cite a specific breakdown of who would pay what. City officials said they could not agree to a plan without those specifics.

Just one of the benefits of being a Democrat based sanctuary city. President Trump won and is turning off the money to sanctuary cities. Good Luck! Not really.

The problem with tolerating, (much less promoting) bad behavior is that...you get more bad behavior. It will be interesting to see if the leadership of the once great state of California wakes up before they lead us into bankruptcy and destruction.
