Prediction - if passes there will be fewer hotel/motel rooms in Los Angeles.
And more Democrats for the next election.
My favorite Beer Bar (Najas Redondo Beach) is in LA, but with all this mess it is unlikely I’ll go back. Too bad as LA (and Frisco) used to be good vacation places.
Well, let’s see. Folks who don’t own hotels get to decide how hotels should be run. Sounds rather un-American to me. But then again, this is California. So no big surprise.
If they start in Malibu and Beverly Hills, it’ll come to a screeching halt.
Might start seeing some “accidental” fires.
If it passes, they won’t need them.
No Soldier or Homeless person shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
I guess if they make it a law its okay then.
Last night the Trump speech at CPAC, the BUSINESS perspective of solving problems instead of the POLITICAL perspective, I thought Trumps idea of putting up TENT CITIES in the MOJAVE desert.. removing them from streets into emcampments, and there removing them from drugs, alcohol, and give them doctors, psychologist and reconcile them with their families, wives, children, and parents is a FAR better solution than to put them in a High Rise Deluxe Apartment they will destroy.
If you stand back to admire this situation...you are demonizing the hotels to such a degree...in a decade, they will all be ‘roach-hotels’, and be sold for property value...to be torn down.
I think the current hotel owners see this as a way to exit, and dump the property for reasonable value.
A lot of this is simply hotels left over from the 1960s/1970s....in areas where tourists don’t gather anymore.
You can bet that the fine print of the law will exempt the 5-star hotels where the celebs hang out.
It'll only be applied to the mostly Indian-run Comfort Inns and Best Westerns where the peasant class books rooms.
This kind of action is Mob Rule and clearly a prohibited activity under the Constitution, which does not seem to apply any more in Commiefornica.
Anybody going to stay in one of those hotels?
All of those hotels they built in NYC, in every neighborhood, during the peak of a pandemic and lock downs were built for this very reason.
I mean what traveler stays at a hotel in the South Bronx? And many were built there and throughout the city.
Like congress....vast majority have never run a business and then try to tell others how to run a business.
Bed bugs here they come.
Why should it only apply to empty hotel rooms. Many houses have an empty bedroom. Those bedrooms could house the homeles too.
It’s a typical example of what ‘Rats mean when the say “Our Democracy”.
In the city near me, the transients destroy or steal everything wherever they go.
