The new mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, said Sunday her administration will start moving homeless people from tent encampments into hotels and motels through a new program that launches Tuesday. […]
On her first day as mayor of Los Angeles, Bass declared a state of emergency on homelessness. She vowed to get people housed and more housing built so that residents can see a real difference, which hasn’t been visible despite billions spent on programs to curb homelessness, including $1.2 billion in the current city budget.
Bass, a Democrat and former congresswoman, has said she intends to get over 17,000 homeless people into housing in her first year through a mix of interim and permanent facilities.
An estimated 40,000 people are homeless in Los Angeles, a city of nearly 4 million. Homelessness is hugely visible throughout California with people living in tents and cars and sleeping outdoors on sidewalks and under highway overpasses.

Denver. That shows how stupid he is.
The rooms will be destroyed and the property fouled - who’s going to pay for that? The City? The Mayoral Matriarch? Ain’t no way.
They are hyping this boondoggle on the local radio stations here in LA. Let me be clear, this will be an unmitigated disaster, these Hotel and Motel owners will LOSE everything when their properties are Trashed by the great unwashed. They are als0o hyping a plan to try and create “affordable housing”, this is the biggest scam that will end in massive failure I have heard.
In Los Angeles County, it takes a minimum of 1 year to get ANY permit and it costs at least $100K to get thru that process, then an additional $100-$200K to comply with said permit and secure the rest of the permits you need to build an outhouse!.
I just finished building my new house a couple months ago, I had to spend about $300K to get thru the Building Department process. Affordable housing is a big frikkin LIE and will never happen.

They’ll love it till the room damage is so extensive they have to demolish and rebuild the hotel.
Hotels and motels better get paid in advance.
Put them in barracks and let them raise their own food. Of course they won’t do that, the homeless here don’t like the shelters because they can’t get stoned.
Karen Bass as money tree plan aka scam.
Wonder how much insurance the owners took out on the buildings????
You can leave the “rebuild” part out.

It was. In fact, 2 serial killers briefly lived there in the 80s.
I love it because some of the homeless in our city will go to LA for the free hotel rooms with Drug Dash and Uber Drinks and free wifi.
