L.A. voters to decide whether hotels must rent vacant rooms to homeless people
A controversial measure that would require hotels in Los Angeles to rent vacant rooms to homeless people will go before voters in 2024, the City Council decided Friday.
The council rejected an option that would have skipped the public vote and enacted the ordinance directly, instead voting 12 to 0 to send the measure to the ballot. The initiative is backed by the hospitality worker union Unite Here Local 11, which had gathered enough signatures to place it before voters.
Friday’s council vote sets the stage for a protracted public battle over the measure, with L.A. voters having the ultimate say in 19 months. The hotel industry will probably mount vigorous opposition to the ballot measure. A number of progressive community and housing groups have backed it alongside Unite Here.
The proposal comes as city officials are gradually closing one of the signature programs set up to address homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic: Project Roomkey, which turned multistory hotels into makeshift shelters. A number of the Project Roomkey sites have already closed.

I see no issue as long as they pay, and follow all rules enacted by the hotel.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Theyre going to get high and pass out on the beds before they even shower
you think hotel beds are already disgusting enough? you think bed bugs and scabies and all that chit are common enough now?
Every hotel is going to be a fuking wreck and every time you had to use one for a trip you will get lice, scabies, bed bugs ect. Then to add insult to it all you will be CHARGED for this by the libtard communists in LA.

ive seen this already, but with migrants. granted its mostly at the cheaper hotels. but some cheaper hotels aren't that bad, until there's 50 loud obnoxious Guatemalans hanging around getting everything free on taxpayer money, all grown males too.

Can't see the owners of the hotels going for this, even if they were getting government money for the rooms. The renovations required after every room is destroyed wouldn't be worth it.

I read that the tax payers of LA will be paying for the homeless individuals to be staying in the hotels, if it passes.
I would think there to be better ideas to solve the homeless problems in LA.
