The ethics of asking for 11 Million 781 Thousand Dollars from the State Government to assist them in the helping of the placements of the homeless, is a lot of monies to be asking for. Perhaps instead of the state government to award such funding, they should use this money themselves within their own board of members who handle state wide homelessness. Making homelessness into a Private Business Opportunity is asking people to make profits off of the ones who are disabled in some way. State homelessness should be a state government issue, not privately businessed, just as State poverty issues should be a State issue rather than privately based.








 
And I've got another question... Ward Village - Condos, Real Estate, Shops, & Dining | Ward Village

The average costs of these units run as high as 10+ million. Where do the people who live in these condos work in that State?

The average Salary for Doctors and Lawyers in that State run from around 100 Thousand to a little over 2 Million for Lawyers, but how can they afford to live in a Condo Unit that is selling for 20 Million Dollars with people with shorts and t-shirts walking out in their front lawn as guests to that neighborhood?

My guess is : Foreign Investors...

Earlier this month, a man driving a Qatar sheik's rare, million-dollar-plus Ferrari LaFerrari raced a Porsche 911 GT3 through a quiet Beverly Hills neighborhood, ignoring stop signs and passing slower vehicles as horrified residents looked on. A member of the country's ruling family, the sheik first claimed diplomatic immunity, then skipped town — with his costly vehicles.


Then on Wednesday, a Saudi prince was arrested at his rented estate in Beverly Glen and booked on suspicion of having forced a female worker to perform oral sex on him. He was freed on $300,000 bail.

They're certainly spending with abandon — renting lavish beach pads for $100,000 a month and buying furnished penthouse condos along the Wilshire Corridor for their children at UCLA and USC, according to real estate brokers.

"Many Middle Easterners are low profile," said Jeff Hyland, an agent who works with wealthy clients. "The ones we're hearing about are the royals who splash the flash and have the Lamborghinis."

61.3 Trillion $$$... Global Debt ..


As the world is getting more and more in debt, some are getting more and more free in debts.

I think that if the world's most wealthiest put their monies in together, there would not be enough to cover the debt. .

Looking at it from this standpoint, debtors would then make up the majority population of the world and the wealthy would make up the minority.
