“On Monday, Mayor London Breed said despite hotel rooms across the city being vacant, staffing remains one of the biggest challenges in securing hotel rooms for the city’s homeless residents, many of whom have addiction or mental health needs.”
...nice try, but we all know that people are only homeless because they’re ‘down on their luck’. And those who are lucky enough to not be homeless are just ‘one paycheck away’ from the same fate.
(same for me, but first I’ll have to get through 6 months of stored food and my property tax isn’t due for another 9 months)
Someone could write a sequel to Arthur Hailey’s “Hotel”.
Who will clean the hotels?
This will be fun to watch....
and Covid. No better incubator than a large building.
Room service? Massages? Laundry service? Free movies?
Yep, whose footin the bill?
You know who.
One of the top reasons we bought a travel trailer.. to never stay in a hotel room again......especially in California. Stupid should hurt and it will.
Yep, I do. The rat bastards are F’ing the tax payers again. What else is new?
These are not going to be 5 star hotels.
Think 100 year old flop houses to start and then Motel 6, etc.
The hotels will probably like the program. Tourism is dead and they have no income right now. The city will guarantee payment. Think of them as modern day hobo jungles.
Once it happens they will never find a way to get rid of the bums. As soon as one overdoses another will take his place.
And the interesting part is that in a month there will be just as many bums on the street as before. New ones will come from all over the country.
Believe me, the hotels that they are securing for the homeless are not the hotels that you would go to. They are the type where you’d go if your holiday visit to the city was to sample the city’s drugs and prostitutes. So this may actually improve the conditions at the hotels.
Room service, laundry, housekeeping for cv exposed
Plenty jobs available..cant imagine why service workers not signing up
I’m hoping someone maps these hotels so I know which ones to avoid when I travel to SFO...
Haha
“or even if these rooms will be paid for.”
I doubt the hotels will rent their rooms for free. Fine, as long as my tax dollar isn’t used. I’m not a Californian.
I thought I had last week that one of the hotels they were planning to use is The Fairmount. If so, that’s the end of it.
Wow. So if we just use the word “emergency” we can do anything we want?
Industrial strength delousing robots could become a thing...
