#2,264 - Santa Monica Approved homeless project to cost over $1 Million PER Unit

Santa Monica's planned construction of a homeless apartment complex priced at an eye-watering $1 million per unit has ignited a firestorm of controversy, especially given California's questionable track record with homelessness funding. Between 2018 and 2023, California reportedly misspent or failed to account for over $24 billion earmarked for homelessness initiatives. Despite these massive expenditures, the state’s homeless population remains one of the highest in the U.S. The upcoming project, which will feature 122 apartments, epitomizes governmental inefficiency, sparking concerns over the true intentions behind these costly ventures. Critics argue the high costs and the prolonged construction timelines reflect a troubling trend of fiscal irresponsibility that prioritizes expenditures over actual solutions to homelessness.
