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?

How will the city manage their drug needs in the midst of a pandemic?
Speaking for myself, I would never book a room at a hotel that once hosted street bums.
Well, in two days they won’t call them luxury hotels. Rather slums.
Understand the point, but it would be difficult. The Anaheim City Council always votes 3-2 in favor of whatever The Tragic Kingdom orders. Like professional wrestling, the outcome is pre determined. Some ad libbing is allowed, and different members get to be the dissenting votes but The Mouse always prevails.

Enjoy the suck, San Francisco.
If your life is in danger, you probably won’t show up at your job, though delivering booze and drugs will be more profitable if the idiots put this into effect.
Absolutely 1 of the stupidest ideas I have ever heard and they’ll probably do it. Can you imagine the stench the lice The bed bugs Filth The abuse the destruction Incredible That anyone would be this stupid
The best thing that can happen is they burn the places down
I would do what I had to do to work and feed the kids. I just don’t see a problem in principle with using shutdown hotel space to quarantine homeless people.
Here in Indianapolis the city made the public transit free to ride during Corona lockdown and now the drivers are complaining the buses are full of homeless people riding all day and night.
“quarantine”
Ain’t gonna happen. Guards at the doors? Jail time, when they haven’t been arrested before this?
you’re probably right. it probably won’t happen. they’ll bury the majority of them, instead. much better decision.
Consider how well the housing projects worked in New Orleans and Chicago.
I have no solution to offer.
Are the hotels doing this voluntarily, or is this a violation of the 3rd Amendment?
They are going to have to demo those hotels after this.
These hotels will need to be torn down after the pandemic is over and they boot them back to the streets. No amount of cleaning will make any of these hotels livable again.
You are absolutely correct about that. When hurricane Andrew destroyed south Miami and Homestead, fema moved in hundreds of trailers for people to live in after the storm. The local homeless moved into these trailers and now, 25 years later, they are still trying to get these drug addicted, hookers and riff raffs out of these mobile homes. They had nowhere to go and the local legal aide lawyers moved in and it’s been a never ending battle Ever since.
Where do the homeless go after the pandemic is over? Will the city dump them back on the street and wave goodbye?
What a shock. Who didn’t see that coming?
