OS ANGELES—In an effort to help alleviate the city’s worsening crisis, Mayor Eric Garcetti unveiled a new initiative Monday to assist homeless individuals by sending around some Zillow listings that looked pretty reasonable. “We need to act decisively to help our unhoused brothers and sisters,
which is why I’ve linked to some nice, modest starter homes that are going for less than market price,” said the mayor in a social media post, urging individuals experiencing homelessness to visit some open houses and put down a deposit immediately to avoid getting into a full-out bidding war with other prospective buyers.

TaylorLorenz it must be amazing to be influencing public policy
MikeBoninLA already solved homelessness in Los Angeles using Virtual Reality!
This reminds me of Madison Wi’s public health order, which advised homeless people to “find shelter”
Just run a perpetual zombie TV show in some part of town and offer food in exchange for playing extras. Charge tourists to experience the set.
I thought you guys did comedy/satire.
Awesome
May I get the link to some of those listings? MayorOfLA ericgarcetti
Best mayor, NYC ever had
cameron_kasky I don’t follow. Is this meant to be humorous given it’s The Onion?
mtsw Come on - you can't rip off a Palo Alto city council member like that!
mtsw This is Del Rey, the neighborhood mikebonin cited as a place that might gentrify if SB-50 passed and the main reason he opposed adding new housing.
Jesus it's barely even satire anymore.
🧘 👖
LA just needs a good overnight freeze.
😂
America would be better if the homeless were housed and the politicians were homeless.
I thought the onion was satire
This sounds nuts?
$400,000 fixer upper. 900 sq. feet. It's next to a concrete factory, under a fighter jet test flight path.
Y'all accidentally wrote a genuine article.
i sometimes check zillow to see if my landlord has put my house up for sale 😐
Maybe employ them to clean up their own trash & poopy💩 mess 1st?

Careful, he may see this and steal this idea. I bet he thinks it's pretty reasonable!
he’s literally a landlord and listed a property for $5k/month during the pandemic
This tweet is a documentary

'LA Mayor pushes to start addressing homeless people as 'homies' to make them feel like they have one.'
Someone has probably already said this, but The Onion is close to becoming indistinguishable from real life at this point.
Well done! That will solve homelessness! They didn't know where to look so you will provide a list of reasonable Zillow listings! The mayor must be an elite and is oblivious to the real world! Let me quess: They are homeless because they can not read! Modern relativism!
LOL
This is a real thing that happened in Palo Alto
How thoughtful!

Bezos could buy every homeless person a house at market rate and have over 170 billion left.

LOL!
Awful. That does nothin to solve root problems with homelessness and as mayor you would think he knew better. The leadership in the country is failing
