In 2024, Los Angeles Will Vote on Forcing Hotels to House the Homeless

The LA City Council rejected direct action on August 5th by an 11-1 margin with one economically illiterate woke council member voting in favor. On July 21, L.A. city attorney Michael Feuer reported that union activists from Unite Here Local 11 collected enough signatures to demand the City take some action on homelessness.

The following points are direct quotes from the proposed ordinance:

  • Mandate on Housing the Homeless
  • Each Hotel shall communicate to the Department or its designee by 2:00 p.m. each day the number of available rooms at the Hotel for that night
  • The Department shall develop a program for paying a Fair Market Rate, or such other rate as the Department may negotiate with a Hotel, for vacant hotel Guest Rooms on behalf of Unhoused Individuals or Families
  • It shall be unlawful to refuse to provide lodging to an individual or family seeking accommodations using the program

Attempt to Stop More Hotel Building

  • In addition to accepting homeless the ordinance blames hotels for causing homelessness and mandates replacement housing.
  • The purpose of this Section is to enhance the public welfare by establishing policies which require hotel development projects to replace demolished or converted housing with housing affordable to households of Extremely Low, Very Low, Low, and Moderate Incomes, help meet the City's regional share of housing needs.

Questions to ask yourself

  • Would you want your 12-year-old daughter riding an elevator with a smelly, emotionally-deranged drug addict?

Until March 5, 2024, we cannot be certain.
