Send them to LA

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has made some bold promises about fixing the state’s housing shortage. Unfortunately, most of the Democrat’s solutions are heavy on government spending and light on the regulatory reform that would bring rents and home prices down.“No one should live in constant fear of eviction or spend their whole paycheck to keep a roof overhead,” Newsom said in his inaugural address. “We will launch a Marshall Plan for affordable housing and lift up the fight against homelessness from a local matter to a state-wide mission.”A budget proposal released by Newsom on January 10 calls for an additional $1.3 billion in state funding geared toward kickstarting new housing production. Of that amount, $250 million will go to local governments as “technical assistance”—allowing them to hire more bureaucrats, process more permits, streamline existing permitting processes, or alter zoning codes to allow for more density. The state also set up housing production milestones, and another $500 million will be on hand to reward municipalities that hit their targets. The plan also calls for a $500 million one-off funding increase for moderate-income housing.
The Democrat version of immigration law, let them end then spend a few billion returning them all to LA.   The bonus dollars for housing El Salvadorian gangs is not going to be used, that is a pay off for LA.  This is strictly an LA operation, we intend for LA to be the new Mexico City.
