Judge takes over efforts to re-home all of Skid Row and blasts officials as corrupt..

Judge $#@!slaps Mayor of Los Angeles. Demo Mayor. Democrats that have governed Los Angeles. Judge Commandeers 1 Billion dollars from Los Angeles. Imposes sweeping Injunction. Highlights the Democrats variety of Racists endeavors. Says they violated the Constitution.





Racism, corruption, and inaction by Los Angeles city and county officials have caused a massive homeless problem, and intervention by the courts is the only way to ensure that people are provided with shelter, a U.S. District Court judge has ruled.


Judge David Carter issued a withering 109-page order Tuesday, accusing Los Angeles bureaucrats of raking in billions of tax dollars without any real results to stem the tide of homelessness that increases by double digits each year. The judge has now taken control of the city's and county’s homeless abatement efforts and ordered housing for the entire Skid Row population of 4,600 by October.


Carter wrote. “Bureaucrats create statistics trumpeting their efficiency and success to the public. But none of this has led to accountability or solutions. Los Angeles is indisputably facing a homelessness crisis that merits immediate, emergency action.”


Carter also accused Los Angeles of violating the U.S. Constitution clauses of equal protection and due process, in addition to creating a “state danger” that violated California law requiring “protection, care and assistance to the people of the state … by providing appropriate aid and services to all of its needy and distressed.”


After a dozen hearings, including one instance in which Carter held court in a Skid Row parking lot, the LA Alliance grew tired of delays and empty promises. The organization filed an injunction asking Carter to force the defendants into complying with a housing mandate, said plaintiff attorney Matthew Umhofer.


Democratic Mayor Eric Garcetti criticized Carter’s involvement in a news conference Tuesday.


“[To] a court that decides to get in the way, I say, ‘Stay out of our way,’” Garcetti remarked. “Roadblocks masquerading as progress are the last things we need. We cannot have anything slow down 89 projects … I don’t want to wait one day.”


Umhofer called Garcetti’s comments “the height of arrogance.”


Skid Row, located in downtown Los Angeles, was born in 1910 when the city built a shantytown to house migrants. Over the ensuing century, the government engaged in a variety of racist endeavors such as redlining, selective freeway construction, eminent domain, and loan discrimination that resulted in a large minority homeless population, Carter wrote.


Four years ago, Los Angeles voters passed Proposition HHH, a $1.2 billion bond to fund homeless 10,000 housing projects in 10 years. The first project opened last year with just 62 housing units, Carter wrote.....snip~

Federal Judge Issues Sweeping Injunction that Gives Himself Extraordinary Power to Solve Los Angeles ‘Homelessness Crisis’.....

A federal court on Tuesday issued a sweeping order in an extraordinary and novel effort to combat the unchecked state of homelessness in the City and County of Los Angeles, California.


“This Court cannot idly bear witness to preventable deaths,” U.S. District Judge David O. Carter writes in the injunction. “This ever-worsening public health and safety emergency demands immediate, life-saving action. The City and County of Los Angeles have shown themselves to be unable or unwilling to devise effective solutions to L.A.’s homelessness crisis…the Court must now do so.”


Carter’s order aims to more or less commandeer $1 billion recently allocated by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti to combat homelessness by forcing those funds into escrow “with funding streams accounted for and reported to the Court within 7 days.” Various audits of multiple preexisting funds are also mandated by the order with 30- and 90-day timelines that “must be completed by independent auditors and investigators.”


And the court may get creative with housing construction.


And, in the meantime, officials are not allowed to sell off any state-owned lands that might be suitable for building new housing.


“The Court ORDERS the cessation of sales, transfers by lease or covenant, of the over 14,000 City properties pending the report by the Controller Ron Galperin to the Court, and all similarly situated properties held by the County pending the report by the County counsel,” the order continues


“Within no more than 90 days (i.e., on or before July 19, 2021),the City and County must offer and if accepted provide shelter or housing immediately to all unaccompanied women and children living in Skid Row; within 120 days (i.e., on or before August 18, 2021) to all families living in Skid Row; and within 180 days (i.e., on or before October 18, 2021) to the general population living in Skid Row,” the order provides–while also substantially increasing the formal boundaries of “Skid Row” so as to include more potential beneficiaries.


“Mayor Garcetti, the Los Angeles City Council, and Hilda Solis, Chair of the County Board of Supervisors, shall submit a report to the Court by April 27, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. to explain why an emergency declaration has not been issued,” Carter ordered.


In fact, the order is so detailed and carves out so much power for the judiciary, that the Bill Clinton-appointed judge felt the need to explain how, exactly, he is able to go above and beyond even what the plaintiffs originally requested in their lawsuit against the county.


“A district court may order injunctive relief on its own motion and is not restricted to ordering the relief requested by a party,” the order notes–citing the relevant precedent and legal reasoning......snip~

Those *ahem* people will ignore the order and bidness will continue as usual.
They thumbed their noses about the highspeed rail system they said was going to be so inexpensive to build, yet not one concrete pour has ever happened.
They bilked the American taxpayer for over a billion dollars on that one.

He was.....and he got tired of the Deviants Racist ways.

At least the Judge has down in the Courts that the Democrats are corrupt and racist. I would have thought it would come out someplace else other than California.

[stjames1_53]

He was.....and he got tired of the Deviants Racist ways.

Of course this will take years to get straightened out. That money will go right into the defense fund for this. then they'll send the left-over bill to the rest of the US.........
A lot of liberals like to claim how rich CA is......now we know how they got that rich. They stole it from the God-fearing citizens.
I'm sure God will have His say at some point...............San Fran will end up on top of the Rockies. Then they can really look down their noses at the rest of us, but good luck getting down.

I have suspected for some time that Homelessness has become a new money scam for Democrats.

They don't want to solve it! They invite more of it on purpose and constantly test the public tolerance. Every year in LA they spend Millions more and the problem gets worse. Where does all that money go and who benefits the most?

And now they want 1 Billion........
