On the town’s news page, they talk about one lone Councilman fighting for ONE YEAR to keep this former motel from being bought by a nonprofit that ‘serves homeless people.’ He said, “It is no longer a motel serving the public, but a social welfare site.’ He lost. Might be Round Two is about to start up - he’ll have a lot more backing, perhaps.
I hope Los Angeles doesn’t get this ‘great idea’ of turning motels into homeless shelters. The idiot Mayor has as much as invited up to 60,000 homeless folks to live here, on us - so far at the (used to be lovely) park near downtown. He’s probably hoping to be Governor, and a perfect match for Moonbeam he would be.
We have a ton of motels here that have been turned into ‘emergency housing’. Every once in awhile they’re on tv with someone being killed there or they’re removing all the tenants because of bed bugs. We had one motel that was huge, 500 or so rooms, from the old traveling days that they turned into housing. After awhile there was so much trouble there they shut it down and then tore it down.
There are plenty of motels here that everyone knows to stay away from.
