5. send this paragraph to the Attorney General

** this is the paragraph that really stood out for me. If you read some of the articles from the link of the articles on the homeless.. this paragraph would stand out for you also.

"The city’s elite celebrated the opening of the Renaissance at Santa Clara as a solution to homelessness. But take a closer look. The Renaissance at Santa Clara, built for $13,106,534, houses 69 people in 340-square-foot studio apartments. That is a breathtaking $190,000 per unit! Would it surprise you to know that Tom Richards of Penstar, who got the development contract for this project, is the chairperson of Fresno First Steps Home and was the chairperson of the city’s Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness committee? Penstar executives contributed a significant amount of money to Mayor Swearengin’s reelection campaign, and Penstar made about $1,000,000 from its role in developing the Renaissance at Santa Clara. Meanwhile, the city’s homeless problem remains essentially unsolved.

Instead of lining the pockets of her political supporters, the city could have provided thousands of homeless people with housing, but they decided instead to put in granite countertops and other perks that cost taxpayers a fortune, while getting a relatively small number of homeless people off the streets.
