Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass pleaded with "the most fortunate" to help fund housing for the homeless as part of a new strategy to tackle the crisis during her State of the City address on Monday.

"We will not hide people but what we will do is house people," the Democratic leader touted as she began her remarks on the city's struggle to house over 40,000 homeless people. "The crisis on our streets is nothing less than a disaster."

Bass touted the success of her signature Inside Safe program, which moved over 21,000 homeless people into temporary shelters, according to The Associated Press. She insisted this "strategy" and "system" moving the homeless into temporary housing would eventually end the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles.

Acknowledging the costliness of this endeavor, Bass asked the wealthy to help "speed up" housing purchases for the homeless.

Wingnut:
She's a socialist. 

DefiantMassRINO:
If the rich wanted to help, they would have already put their money towards charities and philanthropies.

The same wealthy people who build walls and gates to keep the riff-raff out?

What hard working family wouldn't want to have a paranoid schizophrenic junkie alcoholic for a neighbor?

Fishrrman:
Wingnut kicks up dust with:
"She's a socialist."

Nope.
Let's be clear about matters:
She's an out-and-out communist.

When idiots like Bass start forcing suburbanites to give up their homes to the bums, addicts and mentally ill, I hope there's someone to stop them.
