Looks like a high estimate. Regardless, these kinds of public services are necessary, it'll have to be paid somehow.
But also.. aren't these financial reports public?

I don't know the first thing about LA, but I don't see how the finances wouldn't be public.
I think another way to look at it is whether this well spent money, aka the Defund the Police angle. You could have a working Social Services department doing a lot more good with some of that money. That way social workers could actually prevent crime instead of sending police after the fact to shoot, beat, and arrest marginalized people.
