A perfect arrangement should you decide to get out of “Job Lock”!
insane
Do you suppose the ones who aren’t put up in the San Jose motels might move over to Santa Clara?
If they are going to do this, can they insist the homeless work for the city doing some type of work in exchange for shelter? There must be a million productive things for them to do rather than lay around in free housing.
Do You Know The Way to Way To San Jose?
Once you have people living in your hotel, say goodbye to any regular guests. Soon they will be 100% Section 8.
AFSCME would never let it happen.
I have a home in San Jose that I use only a few weeks each year. I was approached by a religious non-profit to rent it on a long-term basis at the market rate.
The non-profit organization would be the lessee, but they could not say who or how many would be occupying the property - just that they would take responsibility. It was an attractive option on paper, but I now I know why they approached me.
Likely would have been uninhabitable at the end of the lease.
The problem with most of the homeless is not that they’re homeless, it’s drug abuse, alcoholism and mental illness. Oh, joy, the man in room 10 next door is screaming at God. The woman in 12 on the other side offers a blow job for a drink. Oh, yeah, that’ll be wonderful for the motel’s other business. And, they tend to pee in just about any place. They’ll be as bad as Section 8 renters. They seem to damage things just because they can. Being a landlord I know several others in the business and NONE of them will take Section 8 or any other welfare money. I had one renter on welfare and I had to totally refurbish the unit after just six months.
So, what to do with the homeless? How about a free buss ticket to California?
and they likely will not be allowed to evict them
This could be my new retirement housing.
It would be cheaper to buy them bus tickets to San Francisco or Santa Monica.
so if it is so dam&ed expensive to live there, why should taxpayers have to pay to support “homeless” people there?
provide whatever social welfare and benefits programs (including free rent give=aways) in regions which cost less... thus saving the taxpayers oodles of money
while still serving the “needs” of all
this is not an argument to retain all the welfare, dole, and give-away programs, only saying here that these programs can be run a whole lot more efficiently
hotel rooms in SillyCon valley are usually VERY expensive, FYI
paying for thousands of “homeless” people to “live maybe for years” in those hotel rooms is going to cost the taxpayers a royal fortune
almost as much as O’s last Hawaiian golf vacation?
The debate in Irving TX, supposedly a conservative suburb of Dallas, was about spending $500K to buy a house for 10 “homeless high school students” (18 year olds I guess). It would have been phase 1 of a lot.
When did people decide that others are owed a house?
I can only speak for myself, I want govt (preferably state and local, not feds) to provide a good life for those people who GENUINELY have serious disabilities
....
everyone else, I figure, can and should take care of themselves most of the time
Incidentally, it doesn’t take any genius to figure out what a dozen teenagers are going to be doing together in a nice big house all by themselves if the govt pays all their bills
let them go get McD jobs, or any little jobs... we all started out this way when we were young... they can do it too (they can mow lawns or wash cars too)...good for them and relieves the taxpayers from an unjustified expense
just my opinions, nobody has to agree and maybe nobody does
And these would be all boys, a house for the girls would be another half million...
crazy
the social workers can then instruct the boys in the Joys of HomoSex
so they can make good recruits for the Transformed new military
see? its all consistent, everything is being thought out for the next generation of homosheep
