Will willingly listen to George Michael. I heart traveling, music, food, news, dog parks, satire, and a good PNW brew. Politically homeless/trans-political.

The California Parole Board got an innocent person killed again. Who could have ever predicted that a convicted double murderer would kill again? Two weeks ago they also found two serial convicted child rapists suitable for early release, including one who said he still has sexual fantasies about young children.

The 53-year-old victim was found with her hands tied, wrapped in a blanket and likely choked to death. ktla.com/news/local-new…

MAZE@mazemoore·
CBS asked the candidates for Governor of California to name one misstep that Gavin Newsom has made as Governor. Name just one thing that Newsom has not done well as Governor. Eric Swalwell was the only candidate who couldn't or wouldn't name a single thing that Gavin Newsom has gotten wrong as Governor. Empty Eric Swalwell is one of the most ret*rded people to ever be in American politics. If CA elects this absolute fool as Governor, shame on them. While running for Governor in 2018, Newsom campaigned on fixing two main issues, homelessness and affordability. Both problems have gotten substantially worse during his tenure as Governor. Not to mention the dozens of disaster projects that have gone no where. Or the fires he wasn't prepared for. Or the rampant fraud.

California built the Golden Gate Bridge in four years. It's taken Gavin Newsom five years to build this ugly wildlife overpass to nowhere—and it's still not finished. Something has gone deeply wrong in the Golden State.

Colorado built this wildlife overpass last year for $15 million. It’ll pay for itself within five years from the avoided collisions. California spending $114 million on a failed wildlife overpass is absurd.

EXCLUSIVE: Gavin Newsom promised to build a bridge for cougars and butterflies in the middle of Los Angeles. The project has turned into another boondoggle, with broken deadlines and costs exploding to $114 million. This is Newsom's bridge to nowhere. city-journal.org/article/califo…

The LA graffiti towers are a symbol of unchecked wealth inequality. They were never meant to house the unhoused people on the streets below so the people tagged them up as a reminder that solving homelessness requires more than luxury condos. I’m sorry you don’t know our city.
Mayor Matt Mahan@MattMahanSJ

LA’s infamous graffiti towers are a symbol of California’s failures on housing. We’ve simply made it too difficult, too expensive, and too slow to build — and that means it’s too expensive and difficult for people to find homes. I’m running for governor because I know we can do better. Read my plan at MahanForCalifornia.com/housing.

He was convicted of violently raping a little girl for nearly a decade and sentenced to 139 years, yet one of Governor Newsom's appointed parole commissioners said he was an "excellent citizen" before recommending his early release on Elder Parole. He promised to "pray" away his desires for little girls.

Again, the media doing the job of the State of CA, LA City and LA County (thank you Fox 11). The facts: LA City used $10.2 million in taxpayer money in 2020 to purchase a vacant 32-unit Ramada Inn to help with the homeless crisis. It only stayed open a little over a year for interim homeless housing and has since been vacant for almost 4 years. A non-profit was gifted the property by the City and the City has now spent almost $20 million total in taxpayer funds on this still vacant property. There is, however, a homeless encampment right near the vacant $20 million property that is supposed to house the homeless. Taxes continue to be increased, our city and county continue to ask for more money, and our failed leaders continue to get re-elected or just get elected to other positions even though CA has the most homeless veterans in the entire country.
Matthew Seedorff@MattSeedorff

NEW: A former Ramada Inn bought to quickly house people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles has now sat vacant for nearly 4 years. The cost has since climbed to about $20 million for what will be 32 units of supportive housing.

@jonathanhatami Meanwhile, also in Marina del Rey, the homeless are starting fires, allowed to live by the freeway and where there is a lot of dry brush. Also Playa Vista / Silicon Beach adjacent.
