Where Are the $750 Millions Tiny Homes
Newsom Promised?

Original Article

Posted By: Mercedes44, 8/27/2025 6:26:07 AM

In March 2023, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) stood in front of cameras and made a bold promise: 1,200 taxpayer-funded "tiny homes" would be deployed across the state by that fall to combat the exploding homelessness crisis. The cost? A staggering $750 million from California taxpayers. However, as we approach fall 2025, neither the 1,200 homes nor any trace of the $750 million can be found. This is California under Democrat control: big promises, bloated budgets, and nothing to show for it.

Gee, California under dem control sounds a lot like the Federal government under dem control. How about those EV charging stations, hummm? We knew they were full of bad ideas but dems have also become synonymous with incompetence, even for their own causes. As long as we keep the results contained within the dem states, that's OK. If they like hitting themselves on the head with a hammer, why should we interfere with their enjoyment. Conservatives in those states can move. Sorry guys.

Maybe China purchased the land where Newsom and the leftist Democrats said they were going to build the tiny homes?

It's California. Money for the homeless is always looted. Never goes to them. It goes to leftist bureaucrats and "non profits". When they're done lining their pockets maybe a few Pennie's that fell to the side in the mad pig rush at the public trough might accidentally slip through to someone homeless.

I'm sure this will be a headline in all of the California papers and lead the newscasts...or, the usual liberal news mantra of: ''If we don't report it, it didn't happen.'' That's known as 'Lies by Omission.' It's what they do.

$750 million, you ask? Could be just a rounding error of the $24 billion in total homeless funding that's gone unaccounted for.

The $750million was probably a cost estimate rather than money sitting there, ready to be spent.

Is the math correct? $750,000,000 divided by 1200 tiny homes = $625,000 per home It must be the gavin-based math.

That comes out to $625,000 per tiny home. A typical level of democrat graft and fraud would be for a democrat controlled "nonprofit" to sell the state 1,200 single wide mobile homes at a profit of over $500,000 per home. It is a testament to the years of complete democrat control of the state and media that the dems feel safe in just taking the money.

No worries, it's just taxpayer dollars, they know there's more whenever they want it and know how to get it. They will appeal to those gullible liberal white college educated women who don't seem to see they're being gaslighted and lied to. Besides, most mobile homes would be less than $100,000 each. You could use used ocean containers (8 x 8 x 40') for roughly $10,000 before adding a few windows. They never want to solve the problem just find the funding sources so they can hire a bunch of government employees first who would be tasked with finding a few crumbs to dole out.

The amount of taxpayer money that democrats have stolen at both the state and federal level is beyond comprehension. Not one of their programs have ever come to fruition without money disappearing. And one of the biggest culprits is probably Gavin Newsom. Nothing in California ever gets done yet the money disappears. When it comes to money the man is a magician. And democrats keep voting these thieves back into office. Says a lot about the democratic voter.

$750,000,000 for 1200 homes is more than $600,000 per tiny home. Wonder if greasy slimey narcissistic governor has some off shore LLCs? Bet some democrats got some healthy bonuses. And maybe contractors. Ridiculous.

Before I make my case, can we all agree that Jews are smart? Yes, we have our share of dumb, dense dolts, but when it comes to objective, empirical, irrefutable evidence of intellectual accomplishments, there is really no arguing with the smart — and often brilliant — label. Jews number only 16 million in a world population of eight billion. Just limiting the adjectives “smart” and “brilliant” to words — as opposed to science, technology, biotechnology, medicine, et al. — consider how many Jews have won the Nobel Prize in literature, the astounding number of Jews in the fields of advertising and public relations,

Russia’s First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Dmitry Polyanski, confirmed at a press conference on Tuesday that Russia is circulating a draft proposal at the U.N. to block sanctions against Iran.

The MAGA movement has its sights set on expanding into governors’ mansions around the country. A handful of prominent allies of President Trump are pursuing gubernatorial bids, viewing it as a way to expand the MAGA agenda beyond Washington and set themselves up for potential future bids for higher office. That means looking beyond 2028, when Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are viewed as the heavy favorites to lead the GOP presidential ticket. That’s left some on the up-and-coming GOP bench going local. Rep. Byron Donalds (Fla.) is running for governor in Florida, Sen.

After more than six months in office and two weeks after ordering the National Guard into Washington D.C. to aid local police in fighting the Democrat-run city’s epidemic of violent crime, Trump’s job approval rating jumped five points, from 40 percent in July to 45 percent today. In this particular poll, that 45 percent is a record high, reaching back to when the AP first started tracking the president’s job approval in 2016. The poll also shows that a vast majority of the public agrees with Trump on a number of issues Democrats oppose him on.

Catelin Drey flipped Iowa state senate district 1, beating Christopher Prosch in a special election held on Tuesday to fill the seat of the late senator Rocky De Witt.

As RedState previously reported, California Democrats are steamrolling ahead on plans to enact new redistricting maps, starting with passing a package of bills pushed for and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) this month on grounds that they were doing it For the People™. The bills greenlight a November special election, where voters will decide on whether to "temporarily" suspend the voter-approved independent redistricting commission process and allow the state to enact maps drawn by Democrat "leaders" in the state legislature, including two who reportedly are considering running in those districts, to counter mid-decade redistricting moves made by the Texas state legislature.

As of this month, violent crime in the nation's capital has dropped significantly following Trump’s deployment of federal resources and direct coordination with law enforcement. Repeat offenders are being prosecuted, gang activity is being dismantled, and high-crime areas are seeing a return to order.

Britain's Royal Air Force scrambled spy planes as it joined NATO in a huge hunt for a Russian submarine suspected of threatening a US aircraft carrier off Norway. In what defence sources are calling a 'highly unusual surge' of activity, NATO allies have deployed at least 27 specialist submarine-hunting sorties since Sunday in an urgent bid to track the vessel. The operation, which insiders insist is not a drill, comes as the USS Gerald R. Ford - the most advanced and expensive aircraft carrier in the world, worth around £11 billion, carries out exercises with the Norwegian Navy in Arctic waters.

One reason that many Republican voters took a shine to Donald Trump in 2016 was the way he showed no respect to the national chattering classes of the Democrat-media complex. George W. Bush was a kinder, gentler Republican -- and they compared him to Hitler. No matter which flavor of Republican was elected, the "objective" media savaged him. We've reached the 20th anniversary of deadly Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico, which killed an estimated 1,836 Americans. But misinformation landed first. NBC and MSNBC tremendously hyped Democrat Mayor Ray Nagin's "Today" show estimate of 10,000 dead in New Orleans.

The biggest, boldest lie of every welfare state is that the goods and services it is providing to its citizens are "free." Those of us with brain cells and an aversion to lying know that this is not only untrue, but also impossible. Politicians are fond of throwing taxpayer dollars around like drunk Kennedy cousins on summer break in Monte Carlo in order to make voters love them. Despite being full-throated advocates for "sustainability" when it comes to almost anything else, socialist welfare state types are committed to an economic system that simply cannot go on forever.
