Just recently, since you are in a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) with the BOS both of you brag about only building 3,362 units over 6 years with $1,700,000,000, This is an average/unit of $505,684. AHF, on TV with multi million dollar ads, brags about rehabing old flea bag hotels for $350-380,000 each unit.

Look at the ads. These are not real homeless from skid row. Look at the cars in the ads. These are not homeless cars. The man in the commercial is not even from L. A. What about those who were bom here, elderly, and have nothing, including shoes as I saw on the bus yesterday.

The basis for Mitchell, et al, v. City of Los Angeles, et al. is 42 U.S.C. 1983, deprivation of rights. I know this law well. The L.A. City Attorney and LADA break this thousands of time when they allow the LADA to prosecute misdemeanors committed in the City of L.A. which has

2010 vote by the L.A. City Council on this matter again as they continued to break the law and have not ceased to this day. I have it certified by someone in the probation department that all the misdemeanors they have are prosecuted by the LADA. Who made this deal with the devil?

I personally have many of these cases along with 5 years of no exculpatory evidence, Tamar Galatzan's LAUSD phone records from Dec., 2013 as demanded by court order and AB 1909.

The greatest of our evils and worst of our crimes is poverty.is

You have been constantly criminalizing poverty and homelessness as you are presently planning with the BOS to eliminate all living in RV’s which will put over 10,000 more onto the streets literally. You will take their last possessions and ability for privacy and any resemblance of humanity. This is a part of your new project to take all off the streets who do not fit your new definitions of “Normal.” I have your 318 page manual on this and how the BOS and L.A. City Council are working together such as you just passed laws concerning parking any vehicle over 7 feet high and over 22* long being able to be parked on certain streets.

This is an oxymoron and hypocritical and in this present environment against corruption and elections coming is actually an untenable position with the facts laid out for the public.

You all declared a State of Emergency several years ago. What happened as you state that homelessness went up 12% in only two years. You state this is 5,000 more/year. There is a 72% shortfall in affordable housing for very low-low income. 07 j 01f ■&>[ %

You formed the City Council Homelessness and Poverty Committee, How to they to this day not understand a thing and certainly cannot do math and what is good for the homeless and taxpayers.

In 2007 there was the decision Jones v. City of Los Angeles which suspended LAMC 41.18 concerning sitting, lying, or sleeping on the sidewalk until you built 1,250 units. Do the 3,362 for $ 1.7 billion count for this?

On September 22,2015 you declared a moral, humanitarian, and public health crisis with homelessness. You have done nothing.

Recently, I entered into my search engine “Cost of building low income housing in L.A.County,” The answer was $69-89,000 each without property acquisition. How do you not know this with all these highly paid employees, consultants, and devolupers?

There is only one answer “PORK.

I have a bid from Giant Containers, who convert shipping containers to the strongest housing known to man. Even Habitat for Humanity uses them.

someone’s attention. Giant Containers never thought of use for homeless until I contacted them for this purpose. How do you not know of this? They are common in construction.

The L.A. City Council and BOS JPA built only 3,362 housing units. For the same money, considering $7-10,000 per unit for the pad and utilities hook ups, no property acquisition, I could have build over 22,000 units. You say you need i0,000/year. I am showing you only 20% of the demand.

There is no reason to continue with old trashed buildings being rehabed for $350-600,000 as now when all new is obtainable for $75,000 each, not $505,683.

homeless and the taxpayers would not go for new and inexpensive to old and expensive?

Mayor Garcetti promised $100 million, instead it was a renewed, vigorous, and cruel enforcement of the laws the courts told you to stop. This is lawlessness like trump.

otherwise. This is inhumane and the law you are using to eliminate those living in RV’s, vans, and cars.

This case decision is Desertrain v. City of Los Angeles (2014).

Then we have Gitzgeraid v. City of L.A. concerning stop and frisk from 2003.

Former LAPD Chief Beck was in charge of “Operation Enough” used to scoop up African- American men.

concerning unlawful seizure of property presently? Are you following the case decisions?*7

* wuAllfAtt t

You brag about $100 million for the homeless only your own documents show 90% of that money to the LAPD not to help the homeless. LAPD punishes, not helps homeless on Section 41.18(d).

You then created RESET with 50 officers, 6 sergeants, and a lieutenant to further terrorize homeless who have no help or hope as you all have shown them you do not care about what we call “THE GHOST PEOPLE.” '

I know of 400 cases in which you and BOS are taking peoples property without compensation. What makes this legal. You are now attempting to do this to Mary Jacobs. This case is now in Federal Court. Name the laws with case law which allow this to happen.

When the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness put out their recommendations you and the BOS decided to do just the opposite of the recommendations. Why did you do what is not proper?

The two organizations who seem to be dedicated to homeless LACW and CANGRESS are wasting too much time and money to continue to help homeless after you destroyed the original help such as carts LACW owns and your police and sanitation take with no cause.

Settle this case now and get this over.

Immediately stop all contracts who have no costs as shown in the next hearing. They state giving money out with no financial analysis. No rational person or organization ever does this if properly operated in their and the public interests.
