It's the same when you hear about how they built 100 tiny homes in LA and find out the programs budget was in the billions. Where is the money really going?

"Where is the money really going?"

That's what DOGE should lay out in a clear manner. But they don't.

This is a monstrous twisting of the facts.

The plan to attack homelessness was a billion dollars.

The tiny home program is $80M.

They've build 100 homes so far of a planned 500, and are in the process of acquiring land.

In fact there will be 1200 homes built for that $80M, about $70,000 each.

I can't see any way you can know enough about this program that it exists, and yet spin this so horribly. "Billions to build 100 tiny homes in LA". If you knew of the 100 homes, you also know that about 500 have been constructed so far. But hey.
