Why not open City Hall and other municipal buildings instead?

As the housing crisis deepens, the corrosive impact of Airbnb on communities becomes increasingly evident. With over 1,000 San Diegans falling into homelessness each month, the question arises: How many Airbnb properties sit empty, exacerbating the crisis?
Complicating matters further is a colossal loophole in the ordinance meant to regulate short-term rentals (STRs). While cracking down on Airbnb alone may not be a catchall solution, it’s undeniable that taking thousands of residential units offline hampers efforts to meet housing goals.

Commies hate private property.
Libtards need to live in tents and sponsor their foreign buddies
Why not open City Hall and other municipal buildings instead?
Pure communist propaganda.
The Air BnB rentals are private property and the owners may do what they wish with them. If the government wants to use them for housing the homeless then government has to buy them from them at fair market value.
No. They love private property. They just don't want anyone but them to have any.
Sure, lets use taxpayer money to house homeless people in beach front properties.
“”This exploitation not only deprives the community of crucial housing but also highlights a pressing issue: a few individuals enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else.””
Working hard, risking your own money to purchase, develop an AirB&B is exploitation to these creeps.
A few individuals enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else sounds like almost every democRAT. The RATS are just fine with drugged up zombies wandering, sleeping wherever, as long as they are not near the RATS.
In San Francisco, they housed homeless in hotels during Covid. But they did not just place them in hotel rooms. They DELIVERED alcohol and drugs to them. No reports of the condition of the hotel rooms. Will San Diego follow suit, and set up homeless in the AirB&B? Will the AirB&B owners be compensated for the repair costs, or are they too rich?
In Chicago, Mayor Let’s Go Brandon Johnson has been stuffing the illegal invaders in the lobbies of the police stations (he hates the cops).
And mega churches
All this caterwauling about homelessness ignores the glaring fact that many homeless choose to live that way, or are too dysfunctional to live any other way, or both.
The issue is positioned as “the heartless landlords charge too much or want to make $$ with an AirBnB” when the real issue is that there are too many people whose lives are train wrecks and they should probably be institutionalized, not living in luxurious accommodations provided by private citizens.
Yes, turn all those $1.5 million cottages used for AirBnB into homeless shelters
makes perfect sense!
They "care" and expect their current white overlord males, the Idiot Newsom and the Über-Idiot Biden, to bail them out.
Snapdragon Stadium holds about 35,000 and is almost always vacant.
I will predict in a few years time states will calculate how many rooms in a house vs how many people live there. If they think you have too big a house, they will tax the extra rooms to help the zombies.
If I was a STR owner, I would sell to Blackrock just to screw the complainers over. Big corporations who will wind up owning huge amount of rentals will have the power to tell politicians to shut up because they will donate heavily to their campaigns. Getting rid of mom and pop landlords is going to backfire greatly, but if thats what people want….
Just because someone thinks they might make an extra few dollars with a spare room on ABNB doesn’t mean they should be hosting a mental case.
The homeless should be moved to camps far outside city limits and be required to work their way back to civilization.
The bastards who are running their AirBnB properties like hotels should also be forced out into the desert until they learn to follow zoning laws.
I know, Libertarians don't like zoning laws. Wait until someone converts your next door neighbor's house into a 7-11 and then see how you feel about zoning laws.
This statement is ridiculous. Stopped reading there.
Deport ALL the illegals and watch the housing crisis evaporate in a heartbeat.
