California is embarking on controversial housing projects for the homeless, including a 19-story $165 million high-rise in Los Angeles' Skid Row with amenities like a gym and cafe. The California Supreme Court's decision to allow UC Berkeley to build student housing is seen as a win for housing in the state, but it has sparked disagreement. Critics, including CA Lieutenant Governor Kounalakis, question the conversion of outdoor spaces into housing, citing concerns over the impact on residents and the motives of developers. Calls for a moratorium on 'homeless housing' development have emerged amid allegations of mismanagement and misuse of funds within the Homeless-Industrial Complex. The taxpayer-funded luxury high-rise project for the homeless has raised concerns among Californians struggling with housing costs and the scale of homelessness in the state.
