The City of Los Angeles homelessness budget was $967.9 million in the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The city permanently housed 7,396 homeless people that year — $130,868 per person. That's 59% more than the median household income in LA ($82,263).

In 2019 I was driving by the Penmar Golf Course and saw a young woman folded over face down in the street in a position no living person should be able to get into. I pulled over to check her breathing, too faint to tell, but found a pulse. Her phone was open and on a call at least an hour in. I picked it up to see if anyone was there. It was her grandmother’s friend, who had been acting as something of a therapist and generally just looking out for this girl. I explained to her the situation and she told me the girl’s name (let’s call her Katie), what drugs she tended to be on (fentanyl), and a bit of her history. From my phone I called 911 and the operator told me to try to get her responsive if possible until they arrived. I started shouting her name, “KATIE! KATIE!” She wouldn’t wake up. I shook her shoulders and shouted her name some more. She took a gasping breath and shot up like Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction after the adrenaline needle. After getting her to calm down a bit I was able to get her talking to her therapist on the phone to relax a bit with me. I offered her a bottle of water and got her talking to keep her engaged. She told me she had taken fentanyl and meth and the paramedics soon arrived. The second she saw them coming she freaked out and cried that her boyfriend was going to kill her, apparently he was a drug dealer, and would have taken off running if her legs had any strength. I explained to the cops the situation and handed them her phone so they could get whatever info they needed from her therapist. The paramedics gave her narcan and I was on my way to encounter another thousand homeless drug addicts in Venice Beach. These people deserve better. They need @spencerpratt. Vote Pratt for Mayor.
