INSANITY L.A. city council to require all motel/hotel owners to report vacant rooms so homeless can be sent there!

The really scary thing (in my mind) is what's next?

Vacant houses will be required to "temporarily" house indigents and vagrants? Or maybe "spare bedrooms" in private houses will be commandeered.

This is a super slippery slope!

See, those businesses will be forced to keep holding their meetings in LA. If they don’t, their ESG (social welfare) score will drop, and they’ll lose their bank and credit card processor. Their internet presence would also be removed. This is what China does, and this is what’s coming here.

Do you really think any professional conference or even individual family on vacation will willingly spend their good money to check into any motel or hotel where the homeless will be in the room next door?

They don't care about profitable tourism or business income. That's evil capitalism. They don't care about hotels going condo. They don't care about the safety of tourists or business travelers.

They will be virtue signaling and getting ego stroking accolades on social media and the evening news assuring them of their moral superiority.... until the unintended consequences hit. Then it will be claimed the events were totally unforeseeable and they will move on to the "cause" they're gullible enough to be manipulated for.

Property is said to be acquired when government encroaches on the land of a person for public purposes. When a government denies natural use of a person’s property, this amounts to an informal taking of the property.

The natural use of these rooms is to be rented by the owner

Why is this not being taken to court with the demand that the state can not do this short if following eminent domain?

Seems to me there might be a violation of constitutional rights here somewhere, but I could be wrong. I realize the homeless are not soldiers/military, but the concept of the gov't forcing one to house others against ones will is there.

It comes down to who is wiling and $$$-able to mount a legal defense vs govt‘s “free” access to lawyers. So easy to simply force compliance via threat of ltigation

What if a homeless person follows a woman inside the room and robs her or worse if the city is going to pay the lawsuit or is the hotel just supposed to absorb it?

Those hotels in southern Maine I described were told they needed to hire more pvt security

Very true. But with all the conservative money spent on elections, I wish two or three billionaires could pony up some endowment money and start a legal non-profit like defend the little guys against schools and such who violate the first.

The real power of the government bureaucracy is they have the unlimited deep pockets filled by the taxpayers.

Most caught in their net do what you say because it’s cheaper to pay than to fight forever

This is the CITY of Los Angeles, not the County of Los Angeles

What is their to see in the CITY of LA?

Aren't 80% of major attractions outside the City?, like City of Anaheim (DisneyLand), City of Pasadena, City of Buena Park (Knott's Berry Farm), City of Hollywood

We will have to wait until the outcome of the November 2024 LA public ballot
to see where this is headed.

A lot can happen within the next two years?

I use to manage an apartment building when I was in my twenties. There was one apartment kept under construction, so management could say no apartments available to rent. I had to use that excuse and show that apartment if undesirables wanted to rent, took their contact info to call when it was ready. It never was. Also I was a hotel auditor for a while. One hotel room was kept under maintenance, carpet half way taken out, for the same reason. I never knew why they needed one room like that being a hotel and never really asked.

No way would I as a hotel/motel owner go along with this B.S. and allow my place to be ruined by illegals or street people no matter how much they wanted to pay me. My response would be.........:fgr2:

That's exactly what forcing hotel/motel/apartment/rental house owners to rent spaces to minorities was. That's been in force for >50 years (is why the YMCA no longer rents rooms for the night; can't refuse to rent to homies and MS-13 types). Any move to reverse this unConstitutional wrong, I have yet to hear of.

Saved, to glorify God.
The INTENT of the law prohibiting even SOLDIERS to be quartered in private residences was to prohibit the government from requiring any citizen to provide housing for ANYONE the government chooses.to be housed in private homes, businesses or property.
So, no, the homeless are not an exception.
the government can REQUEST, PLEASE, BUT NOT COMPEL!
