The County just doesn’t get it. Homelessness won’t be solved with temporary parking lots. It won’t be solved by throwing people into hotels. The real solution is tackling the root causes: drug and alcohol addiction and untreated mental illness. Until we address those, nothing will change.

Today's Budget might steady the ship, but doesn’t change its course. Until we tackle the extraction economy at its root, living standards won’t recover and the promise of “change” will remain unfulfilled.

Clearing encampments and reducing homelessness is not rocket science. We need to enforce the law and treat the root cause homelessness which is drug addiction and mental health. The only reason we have this problem in LA is due to corruption and politics as usual!

We must move away from tackling only symptoms and get to the root causes. The evidence is clear: development is where lasting progress starts. I shared today at the UN Development Executive Board that without investments in development, we won’t get ahead. We’ll just keep reacting.

Homelessness is not a business. Mental illness is not a business. Addiction is not a business. The grift ends when I’m mayor, and we will enforce the law.

Fiat is dying. #Bitcoin’s volatility is temporary, and once it hits $500K+, the world could flip to a new standard fast. The change won’t be gradual. It never is. 🌍⚡

A ceasefire by itself won’t hold, it doesn’t address the problem. It will keep coming up. We have to address the fundamental crisis from the beginning of the state of Zionist Israel.

We are determined to make change. We know it won’t be easy but the work has already begun. Seeing the Home Secretary speak about the importance of tackling violence against women and girls is another vital step.

Adam Selwood: “I don't want anyone to go through this type of pain if it can be avoided, and it can.” I agree, but it won’t change until we talk honestly about the real causes of suicide, and start helping athletes regulate their nervous systems in retirement.

I'm traveling to Rome because the solutions to the problems facing our city, country and planet must be solved together — by sharing ideas and strategies. We will be talking infrastructure, climate change, the asylum seeker crisis and so much more. Through hard work and faith, there is nothing we can't accomplish.
