Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has been a very busy woman, fighting against the federal government and for illegal aliens in her city, from downtown to the beautiful family picnic spot, MacArthur Park. But on Thursday, she turned her focus to the many homeless in Los Angeles. This is a nice change of pace, considering that earlier this month, she was promising debit cards with a "couple hundred" dollars on them to undocumented immigrants who've been affected by ICE's raids.
She's now bragging about how she's decreased homelessness in Los Angeles for two consecutive years by housing 30 people who had been living outside for years.
More than 30 Angelenos lived here in Van Nuys this morning. Now, they are moving inside — some for the first time in YEARS.

This is how we’ve decreased homelessness in Los Angeles 2 years in a row for the first time and we will NOT stop. pic.twitter.com/MpAllsEsmI
Wow, more than 30 Angelenos, who've been living on the streets for years. Progress!
There are over 72k homeless people in LA, Karen. And you’re bragging about helping 30 of them? https://t.co/fbsjaknaqO

I hope she doesn't strain her arm patting herself on the back.

She's going to need another vacation in Ghana after all that hard work.

What about the homeless in the Pacific Palisades?

I'd say they've paid their fair share over the years in taxes for you to help them for once.
Must be all of the room being freed up by deporting illegals and making space for actual citizens. Who would have thought?

You’re insane. It’s not you doing anything.

She really doesn't appear to be all there.
This isn’t the flex you think it is ..

Wow, 30 people out of 1 million. You’re on a fucking roll aren’t you now? Let’s get those building permits for the Palisades going shall we?

With the amount of money that CA has thrown at the homeless issue they all should be in gold plated high-rises by now. 🤨

You didn’t end homelessness you just moved it out of sight.

Permanent solutions don’t come from press releases. They come from results. And LA’s still failing.
Thirty people moved inside after years in tent cities, and Bass "will NOT stop." At this rate, the sidewalks will all be cleaned up for the Olympics in 2028.
