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?

Wrecking balls and later burning the remains then haul away.
The Tiki Room is now the Tick Room
You mean, Nanking Nancy and all her Leftie buddies aren’t opening their doors for them??
You’d have to burn the places down and rebuild.
“Scat Francisco”
So does that mean their carboard box is now their vacation home?
And people wondered why Disneyland shut down all their hotels and sent staff home. “Oh, we’d LOVE to help you, but we’ve furloughed all our employees already and simply don’t have the staff to accommodate your requests...”

“There’s also no exit plan. A four-month contract for the room occupants is being considered, but where all these people will go afterward is undetermined. California law stipulates that a person lodging in a hotel room for longer than 30 days is considered a tenant. Therefore, thousands of homeless people who have stayed in the posh hotels would become legal permanent residents, with protections against eviction.”
I’d love to see pics of these hotels. I’m betting they have been closed for a while and are in seedy areas.
hotel employees probably like the idea. it’s the only way they stay open, only way they keep drawing a paycheck
That’s how New York City got bedbugs everywhere.
They’ll rethink it in about a week.
they’ll be yelping!
doubt it. if a stupid local government idea was the only thing that made it possible to keep my job and pay my mortgage, I’d certainly go with it.
Our last stay over a year ago was at Marc Hopkins. It’s a beautiful hotel with amazing views of the city. This makes me really sad as I liked the hotel a lot due to price and location. Now, I won’t be there again.
Our friends got upgraded to the 21st floor and had a fabulous room with an outdoor balcony where you could see from the Oakland bridge to the golden gate bridge. Just plain stupid SF!!!
they are actively destroyibg private property and the entire city
For the homeless they are saying:
“Movin’ on up. Movin’ on up.”
