LA city council votes to name hotels that refuse to house homeless, may 'commandeer' them By Brie Stimson | Fox News The Los Angeles City Council Wednesday voted to identify hotels refusing to take in the homeless during the coronavirus pandemic and said they could possibly be “commandeered.” Only 1,582 people have been placed in hotels, far short of the city’s goal of housing 15,000, FOX 11 in Los Angeles reported. "Each hotel brings new hope, each room could save a life," Mayor Eric Garcetti said of Project Roomkey, according to KABC-TV. “If hotels are making a distinction among people classifying housed and unhoused differently in terms of accommodations that they’re going to be repaid for, that the city and county will pay for with reimbursements, then I think there’s a potential civil rights violation,” Councilman Mike Bonin said. “If the problems are on the hotel end, the public should know why, and then we should consider commandeering as they’ve talked about in other cities.” The council also plans to investigate if hotels refusing to house homeless have received tax breaks from the city recently. https://www.foxnews.com/us/la-city-council-votes-to-name-hotels-that-refuse-to-house-homeless-may-commandeer-them This “homeless” gig is starting to sound pretty damn good. https://ktla.com/news/california/san-francisco-delivers-alcohol-tobacco-and-weed-to-addicts-quarantined-in-hotels/amp/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, that's what "wiring accidents" that coincidentally happen near a pile of highly flammable material are for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally took a loss on the development of a project at CalPERS years ago because they state ran out of money and told every on on the job (a) clean up, (b) go home, (c) you won't be getting any more money currently owed to you and (d) go eff yourselves. They'll do it again. Pensions to protect, y'know. absolutely pathetic. Friend of mine owns a small cartage/waste disposal business in Albany. Also does excavating, submitted a bid on emergency cleanup of a spill of some sort in Amsterdam, NY. $400k...took 14 months to get paid. With the budgetary issues looming, businesses would be nuts to partner up with the state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Trump is talking about the water in the smelt that millions of gallons of water are going out to the pacific. He got signatures allowing LA up to get that millions of gallons of water, and it only awaits Newsom's signature. According to this Hill article, this has been unsigned by Newsom since February. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way mail in ballots can lead to voter fraud. Zero probability. First of all; you have a postal service that has never lost an item of mail. Second; you have the sheer integrity of the ballot counters which should never be questioned. Bottom line with mail in ballots is; Trump loses by 300 million votes and couldn’t possibly win a second term which means the machine can rest a little easier knowing that they’ve successfully pulled one over on the less intelligent members of the former constitutional republic of The United States of America. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally like my state of Florida but I used to work in small business finance about 15 years ago and several of my clients then would get the absurd run around when time came to pay. They all worked in the construction business and would go 6 months without a word and then be told the hold up was an illegible signature or some other minutiae. I can only imagine what NY and Cali do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you even remotely think you are a conservative or even right-leaning and have a chance in CA, those days are done. Two elections cycles and CA will become Thunderdome and you are all absolutely, positively FUBARed. They're going to tax the ever-living clusterphuck out of every person and company who they deem to wealthy, and the only question will be whether Taco Bell will win the fast food wars again. Nice knowing you, CA. Tell Prop 13 I appreciated it while it was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two. One for the life they lived and one for the afterlife. Simple process too, as there is only one box available to place the check mark in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
