Another Bad Idea in San Francisco (Homeless put in luxury hotels)

Instead, Mayor London Breed and the Human Services Agency came up with the plan to route over 3,000 people currently living in shelters and navigation centers into hotels. The city is planning to put thousands of physically and psychologically sick people into private hotel rooms, in some of the most luxurious hotels in San Francisco—the InterContinental, Mark Hopkins, and The Palace. Occupants would receive three meals per day, hygiene products, and access to nurses.

At first glance, the plan appears sensible. The shutdown has devastated the hospitality industry, and hotels stand empty. Filling rooms with guests of any kind is attractive for hotel owners, especially since tax dollars will foot nearly all of the bill.

On closer examination, however, serious problems emerge. According to Matt Haney, a city supervisor actively promoting the proposal, occupants would be quarantined to their assigned rooms and be required to follow strict rules. But many of these future luxury hotel guests are hardcore drug addicts. How will the city manage their drug needs in the midst of a pandemic?

"Sheltering homeless people in luxury hotels is likely to create new problems." "How will the city manage their drug needs in the midst of a pandemic?" "Haney concedes that intravenous drug use presents a major challenge to the city’s plan. "

Easy, they will supply their favorite drugs as well.

The rooms will be filthy, trashed, maybe burned. Ridiculous. But oh well, the people never should have been left to their own devices. They should have been attended to, put in hospitals or housing, given meds. They are for the most part mentally ill and addicts.

Anyone dumb enough to invest in a city run by LBGT Marxists kinda deserves what happens to them. Sooner or later you are going to regret it.

If only Arthur Hailey was around to rewrite “Hotel”.

I’d pass on the rebooted series.
