Good morning all.

Boy, I’m glad I live outside the city of Dallas, and don’t have to pay for the all the crap they’re wasting the taxpayers’ money on:

Dallas likely to pay for 500 homes for homeless

By RUDOLPH BUSH and DAVE LEVINTHAL / The Dallas Morning News

The Dallas City Council has agreed that taxpayers should help fund the construction of 700 permanent housing units for homeless people who need consistent support to get off the streets.

Though council members haven’t yet committed any money to the plan, their vote Wednesday signaled that they intend to use city money to pay for about 500 of the 700 units within the next five years. Federal funds will pay for about 200.

In today’s dollars, the cost of the housing ranges from $7.2 million to $18 million. The project also will include about $4 million to provide support services like medical care and drug and alcohol treatment to residents.

Un.believable.
