L.A.’s Homeless: Advocates Blast County, Mayor Garcetti for Delaying Release 2019 Homeless Numbers
Formal release of 2019 numbers now pushed to Tuesday, June 4th
instead of the customary May 31st release. Move
suggests sharper increase in homeless count than what advocates and
officials might have anticipated despite over $619 million in gov’t
spending on homeless in the region over the last year.
Official homeless count in Los Angeles in 2018 was 53,195.
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Housing justice and homeless advocates with Housing
Is A Human Right, Healthy
Housing Foundation by AHF, Coalition
to Preserve LA, AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF)
today blasted Los Angeles politicians and bureaucrats for their ongoing
lackluster response to the human catastrophe of homelessness in Los
Angeles. The rebuke, specifically targeting Mayor Eric Garcetti and the
County Board of Supervisors, was prompted by today’s word of a delay in
the formal release of the 2019 homeless count, traditionally released by
May 31st each year, but now pushed to Tuesday, June 4th.
“The last minute, unexpected delay of the release of L.A.’s 2019
homeless count to next Tuesday suggests that there’s been a sharper
increase in the homeless numbers than what advocates and officials might
have anticipated, despite over $619 million in government spending on
the homeless in the region over the last year,” said Michael Weinstein,
president, AHF. “Delay, inaction and spin: Why? This allows Mayor
Garcetti, City Council and the Board of Supervisors time to spin away
their outdated, expensive—and clearly ineffectual—response to the
homeless crisis we actually have here in Los Angeles. The official
response on homelessness simply does not correlate to the crisis we face
and our elected officials just continue to move at the speed of
government. It’s a national disgrace.”
Homeless advocates’ criticisms of the response to L.A.’s homeless and
affordable housing crises include:
-
City Council’s continual approval of development projects with NO
designated affordable or extremely low-income housing units (recent
unanimous 14-0 vote to approve a 725-unit Chinatown project with NO
affordable units. Councilman Gil Cedillo overrode recommendation that
37 units be set aside as affordable for very low-income tenants). -
The astronomic price tag—well over $500K per unit—of so called
‘affordable’ housing units under the Measure HHH bond. -
The fact that NO homeless individual has been housed yet under
HHH—three years after L.A. voters approved the $1.2B bond in Nov.
2016). -
City Council’s refusal to ban campaign contributions from developers
and real estate interests (again, Councilman Cedillo: “I’m not
quite sure — what’s the problem we’re trying to solve?”). -
City Council’s razing and destruction of Parker Center to build a
luxury corporate L.A. government tower for city employees, despite the
fact that housing advocates commissioned feasible plans to turn the
former police HQ into housing units for over 700 homeless individuals. -
The city’s ongoing and inhumane homeless rousting policies and
confiscation and destruction of homeless individuals’ belongings. -
The city and county’s failure to explore and adopt an ‘adaptive reuse’
approach to housing the homeless by purchasing and repurposing
old—already existing—un- and under-occupied single room occupancy
(SRO) hotels throughout Los Angeles (by some estimates there are over
10,000 such rooms in hotels in L.A.)

Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.
The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.
Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.
“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”
Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
