The crazy thing is, Los Angeles’ minimum wage is already 16.78, and restaurants are required to pay servers at least minimum wage in California. None of this lower minimum for tipped workers. So they are adding at least 18% to that, unless the 18% service fee brings their workers up to minimum wage, which is dishonest, but wouldn’t put it past a restaurant to do. After all that, they have the gall to sti ask for a tip!?! It’s beyond bs.

Seems like the excess housing may not be where the homeless people are. Like it’s great that there are 110 vacant houses for every homeless person in Detroit, but how is that helpful to Los Angeles’s homeless population?

They mention that both Syracuse and Detroit have a ton of extra housing and then say that Los Angeles has the highest percentage of homeless people. No mention of how many vacant houses there are in LA compared to homeless people. Unless they are suggesting we ship the homeless from California to Michigan, I’m not sure what they are suggesting in this article.
