These must be hotels that want their “star” ratings to drop to -2

Once they’re in there, it will be impossible to get them out.

To do so would be racist.

The smart hotels cleared out staff on furloughs. ‘Reopen right now? Oh, no, not possible at all, we have to wait for the all clear.’ Those that kept rooms open will be paying the price for years - once homeless are lodged in hotel rooms, there’s little incentive for politicians to kick them back out. There’ll be at least one sob story about a homeless mother and her little child and that’ll secure rooms for months (if not years) for all the meth heads.

Good luck, SF, getting your hotels back again.

Local construction companies might as well start prepping demolition contracts for those hotels.

No mention in the article who will be paying...or even if these rooms will be paid for. Just mentioned “acquiring” these rooms.

I sense.....a wave of resignations coming at the aforementioned hotels.

Bedbugs? Lice?
...
Bed bugs cost a hotel about $20k in lost business, reputation repair, and treatment for just 1 bed bug if it is found. I friend who is in the hotel industry, told me this from their industry publications.

I can only imagine the issues here.

The hotels have to be forced to do this and either the state or the federal would reimburse them. I will be pissed if somehow the federal government would reimburse them.

That sounds like a great policy. Maybe future tourists will be required to sleep in homeless tents on the streets.

You are probably correct....the city will admit the properties are worthless by 2025...pay off the owners, and demolish the properties to be resold on the open market later.

Only question mark is that this whole ‘game’ has to amount to several tens of billions of dollars that the hotels will get in the meantime for room costs, then damages to the rooms, and later to legal fights in court.
