#1 Speaking of accountability. Telemundo, a Dallas Spanish speaking station did a news segment on how Bidenflation is hitting the Hispanic community hard. Telemundo interviewed Hispanics at the gas pumps, etc.. Biden and the DNC is losing the Hispanic vote!

#2 Yes, but you have to remember they have the Computer vote.

As for the missing $24 Billion, I'd say that goes a very long way in explaining why 'Homelessness' is such a lingering problem.

#4 Have they checked the politicians pockets and bank accounts along with their cronies? Bet they will find a good chunk of it there.

#5 Like the old saying goes Follow the Money. A good chunk of this l would suspect boils d oi wn to simple incompetence in small community "help" organizations (1). Suddenly having a bunch of money handed to them they go nuts. Another issue is if you solve homelessness the money goes away. Or goes to another issue.
The Fentanyl vote. Says a lot about California politics and politicians doesn't.

#6 How much is the state budget deficit? Seems like audits are in order across the board.

#7 My guess, having watched the way politicians operate in this state for decades, is that most of the money went to developers. The scam is: politicians scream about the need for more "affordable" housing for the homeless. Then they contract with developers to build "affordable" housing at half a million dollars or more per unit. Of course the units are not really affordable at all but no matter. The developers get rich and then contribute to the politicians' election campaigns.

It's all perfectly legal because the politicians write the law that way. It's been happening this way for decades. As long as I can remember, and that's a long time, they've been screaming about affordable housing. They've been building as many houses as they can as fast as they can, making a mess of this state and overloading the infrastructure, and yet housing costs continue to sky rocket. It's all a scam.

The pure folly of it is that the kind of people who become homeless are mentally ill drug addicts who are incapable of managing their own affairs. They need to be incarcerated and supervised in dormitories, barracks or tent cities out in the boondocks so they won't be a threat to normal citizens. If you leave them unsupervised in an apartment, condo or house they will destroy it and most likely damage neighboring properties in the process.

The truth is, the only way to make California affordable for all the people all over the world who want to live here is to turn it into the kind of slum where nobody wants to live. Newsom and his pals are dead set on doing just that.
