This business has been asking for the removal of this garbage can for more than 4 months… and I’ve been trying to understand why Discover PB hasn’t had a lid or washed this for nearly 5 years.

Pacific Beach is in a Death Spiral with 3/5 Businesses “For Lease” with disrepair and filth everywhere because nothing has been maintained in years.

I’ve been documenting this for years. No one wants Discover PB’s garbage cans anymore because they’re disgusting, generally don’t have lids to protect against birds, and are constantly overflowing.

Get rid of every Discover PB-run garbage can since 3/5 businesses are closed and we can put this expense back with the city and then spend on Powerwashing.

SDUT recently ran this article about "Head Start" aka "MAAC" which I addressed the other day as being a $68M/Year SD NGO Behemoth that owns:

1361 - "Affordable housing Units" in various cities throughout the county.
807 - "Future Affordable Housing Units" planned on acreage purchased and being held.
109,527 - Square Feet of Centers for Head Start

NGO's developing San Diego and other places are probably a bigger driver of inflation than AirBnB based on these numbers... this level of cash flow for a "non-profit" really is insane.

I am currently preparing a spreadsheet comparing all of the "San Diego Non-Profits" and came across their Audit... 👀 Found some interesting things for an organization revolving around kids for their first 5 years of age. 🧵

This is an excerpt from the Audit which I will ink at the end along with the audit summary which isn't exactly an endorsement. 🤔 Make your own determinations.

MAAC wholly owns or controls and operates:
• Mercado Apartments – a 144 unit apartment complex located in the City of San Diego, San Diego County, California, consisting of affordable rental housing.
• Carlsbad Laurel Tree Apartments – a 138 unit apartment project located in Carlsbad, San Diego County, California, consisting of affordable rental housing.
• MAAC Community Center - a 73,000 square foot property located in Chula Vista, San Diego County, California, which is used for a Charter High School and various programs.
• Vale Terrace – a 29,000 square foot property located in Vista, San Diego County, California which is used for Head Start and other child development services.
• Gosnell Center - a 7,000 square foot property located in San Marcos, San Diego County, California which is used for Head Start and preschool programs.
• San Martin De Porres Apartments - a 116 unit apartment project in the City of Spring Valley, San Diego County, California, consisting of affordable rental housing.
• MAAC National City LLC – Land held in National City (the National City Project), California, to be developed into a 400 unit affordable rental housing project. Construction is expected to commence in 2024.
• MAAC Ivy LLC - Land held in Escondido (the Ivy Project), California, to be developed into a 127 unit affordable rental housing project. Construction is expected to commence in 2024.
• MAAC Ascencia MGP, LLC - Land held in Escondido (the Ascencia Project), California, to be developed into a 180 unit affordable rental housing project. Construction is expected to commence in 2023.

SDUT was happy to completely mislead you about Head Start San Diego being for "Children and Families", when it is actually a non-profit Development Firm that owns significant land and housing.

MAAC is the controlling general partner of four limited partnerships (the Affiliates) that are invested in residential apartment complexes that do or are expected to qualify for low income housing tax credits (LIHTC) under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code and rent to qualified low income tenants. MAAC’s ownership interest in each limited partnership is 0.1% or less. A description of the Affiliates is as follows:

• Seniors on Broadway Limited Partnership, a California limited partnership (Seniors on Broadway), owns and manages a 42 unit apartment project in the City of Chula Vista, County of San Diego, California, consisting of affordable rental housing.
• 5471 Bayview Heights, L.P. (Bayview), a California limited partnership, owns and manages a 300 unit apartment project (Hillside Views Apartments) in the City of San Diego, San Diego County, California, consisting of affordable rental housing.
• 4132 Beyer, L.P. a California limited partnership, owns land and is developing a 100 unit affordable housing project in the San Ysidro area of the City of San Diego, California. Construction commenced in August 2022 and is expected to be completed in August 2024.
• Villa Lakeshore 2020 LP, a California Limited Partnership (Villa Lakeshore), owns and manages a 34 unit apartment project in the City of Lakeside, San Diego County, California, consisting of affordable rental housing. In January 2021, the partnership purchased the project from MAAC and rehabilitation was completed in December 2021.

My first clue that The San Diego Regional Task Force on Homelessness was a questionable operation was when they put a failed Democrat candidate from our district on their staff as communications director.

A brave person came forward recently and explained that most things are hiding in plain sight... so I took a look at This Homeless "nonprofit" which is a shadowy player of the homeless grift in San Diego.

As part of my profession, I look at Tax Returns so I decided to pop the hood and see if anything stood out... Oh boy!

@DOGE I encourage you to make your own conclusions. San Diego is more corrupt than Chicago but the weather is better.

This is Part 4a of Statement of Program Service Accomplishments

"Regional Task Force on the Homeless, Inc. (RTFH) dba Regional Task Force on Homelessness (as of July 2021) was incorporated on June 17, 2004 as a non-profit public benefit corporation. Our VisionRTFH is the homeless policy expert and lead coordinator for the introduction of new models in the San Diego region and implementation of best practices. Collaboration in the region and utilizing data are key ways to end homelessness, and we continue to expand the network of those who are touched by homelessness to improve lives.RTFH is the San Diego Continuum of Care (CoC), designated by The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CoC Program is designed to promote communitywide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, and State and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused to homeless individuals, families and communities by homelessness; promote access to and affect utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness. RTFH has an 11-member Board of Directors to focus on the non-profit and a 31-member CoC Board that includes a diverse group of stakeholders: elected officials (Federal, state, and local), government agencies including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, County of San Diego, and cities homeless services providers, faith-based organizations, law enforcement, healthcare partners, the education sector, philanthropy, business partners, persons with lived experience, advocates, and others.RTFH became a direct funder in 2018, receiving $18M in one-time state funding. RTFH entered into more than 25 sub-recipient agreements and successfully expended the full award by the grant deadline. RTFH also received $8M from HUD, entering into agreements with 8 sub-recipients, and 18 separate project agreements. RTFH successfully administered over $26M in YHDP and HEAP funds, serving more than 8,000 people including 805 youth. RTFHs revenue increased by $13.4M (from $2.1M to $15.5M) resulting in an increase of more than 6 times the funding received in 16/17. Since gaining 501(c)(3) status, RTFH has expanded its capacity and flexibility. With active leadership from its Board and its CEO, RTFH is seen as providing a constructive, apolitical voice, while adroitly managing relationships with elected officials. Other organizations in the region rely on RTFH for expertise in the field regarding securing of funding. In tactical operations, it is highly sought-after by other Continuums of Care (CoCs) for advice on HMIS; its active enlistment of Outreach Staff has led to improvements in the Point in Time (PIT) Count; and initiatives for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). RTFH has established itself as a leader among its peers. RTFH has received national recognition, hosting its first annual Conference on Homelessness in November 2022.Regional Vision to end homelessness in San DiegoWe will end homelessness throughout San Diego using a housing-focused, equity driven, and person-centered approach."

Their contributions and grants went from
$14,918,274 in 2022 to $25,208,771 in 2023

Their Savings and temporary cash investments went from $13,935,622 in 2022 to $7,165,013 in 2023 which seems odd considering their grants and contributions went up by more than $10,000,000 in the same year.

The most interesting thing staring at me now is line "16 - Total assets" went from $17,057,782 to $29,799,726 which is more than a $12,000,000 increase in total assets.

I can't tell what those assets are(yet) but that's a lot of assets to acquire in a single fiscal year when the local newspaper found that the homeless population actually increased.
