The City of LA is building 480 ft2 shipping container homes for the homeless out of custom-built shipping containers. Price tag? $600,000/home.
Remember, folks, these are the same people who claim they'll drive down your healthcare costs, if only you give them a de facto monopoly over the healthcare system.
"L.A. City Controller Ron Galperin released an audit last month that found the bond program had not produced a new unit of homeless housing since Prop HHH passed, even as the vagrant population rapidly increased throughout the region. The audit determined that more than 1,000 units of housing approved through the measure could exceed $600,000 apiece, partly due to“the high level of soft costs,” which “indicates that developers are spending large amounts on non-construction activities such as fees, consultants, and financing costs.” The soft costs for Isla are projected to be around $12 million, the developer said.
“We aren’t actually building housing cheaply; we are just simulating building cheap housing as expensively as possible,” Mailander said."
