$130k for an 8x8 shed

[pronstar]

...only in Los Angeles.

So I try not to post CA bashing threads, there’s plenty of those that get posted and I’m not too salty about that damned state anymore.

But I had to share this.
The sheds in the picture are being setup in communities to house the homeless, at a cost of $130k per.

This is what happens when government goes batshit crazy...

And they wonder why the state is almost bankrupt.

Damn. I only charged my son-in-law $2000.00 for a 10'x12'x8' tall shed. Also built him a custom 6'x7' door for his 5' wide riding mower would fit through. This included floor, wall, joist, decking sheet metal roof, window, siding and trim. He did the painting. of course this was the son-in-law price. any one else, I would have probably charged,around $3500.00.

Why in the bleeding hell would LA even THINK of this? Why not make a deal w/a large manufacturer of metal buildings (Mueller, etc)...I'd bet they could buy those 8x8 buildings for less than $500 each in large quantities...

Probably owned by the daughter of a city councilman, something like that.

God must love stupid people.... he made so many.

That is cheaper than the "low income housing" they wanted to build. Last time I checked the houses were going to cost over $500k.

Why not? San Francisco spent more than $18 million on hotel rooms for the homeless with some indication that many of the rooms went unfilled

S.F. to begin moving homeless out of hotels soon. Some might get housing, others ‘safe’ tent sites

Abigail Stewart-Kahn, interim director of the homeless services department, said the city...

Only thing that comes to mind, corruption and kickbacks.

$25k of each will go
Deep into Newscums pocket.

From that article:
“The city cannot afford to keep the shelter-in-place hotels open indefinitely,” Stewart-Kahn told The Chronicle in an interview. San Francisco has not yet been reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and it’s not clear when it will be.

At about $260 a night per room, the city is spending nearly $8,000 per person per month — more than twice the median rent of a one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco."

Yeah, THAT sure makes a lot of sense... <<sarcasm

And people wonder why communism doesn’t work. Too inefficient, even when it’s tried in America.

Who's the contractor on that? James Biden? The taxpayers are being fleeced.
