California (again)

Accommodating Dysfunction

City Journal, by Erica Sandberg

Original Article

 

One recent morning a disheveled, visibly disturbed man ran frantically around the lobby of the Mark Hopkins Hotel, the historic and elegant property located at the crest of tony Nob Hill. As one of San Francisco’s designated Front-Line Worker Housing (FLWH) hotels, it’s reserved for health-care and public-safety employees working on Covid-19 related matters. But San Francisco is surreptitiously placing homeless people in luxury hotels by designating them as emergency front-line workers, a term that the broader community understands to mean doctors, nurses, and similar professionals.

My wife has been saying if she finds out what hotels are housing the homeless she’ll never stay there.  The Mark Hopkins!?  ?

My guess is that they aren't camping out in your neighborhood, work place or locations you frequent. Somebody else might see them all the time and feel like California is nothing but a refugee camp.

Why are they not camping out in the neighborhoods where I work/live/play? ?

Chef Jim must not drive under any freeway bridges. They’re starting an HOA under many in and around Los Angeles.

OBSESSED: California Democrats Want Another $20 Million to Enforce Job-Killer AB5. 

 

“What California workers and employers need more than ever right now is increased flexibility in order to reignite the state’s job-creation engine.

 

What they’re getting instead is another $20 million in debt so that unelected bureaucrats can wage war on the type of work preferred by nearly 25% of the workforce.”

 
 
 
 
 

 

...Gruesome Newsome failed as SF mayor, so give him credit for his ongoing track record as Governor................

I drive under all sorts of bridges.  Come to the dark side known as South Orange County.  Since LA has become their Mecca I’ve not seen one homeless person here. We thank you for your compassion.

Local government?


Let me clarify. And this corner is the only place I’d usually see the random “homeless” person asking for help. 

Oh and @SoCal Deek how often you see this in your neck of the woods?

Keep telling me that it's about safety.

 

 

The State of California has banned singing in any indoor religious services, even with masks on, under new guidelines issued by the Department of Public Health to control the spread of the coronavirus.

 

The new guidelines state 

 

Even with adherence to physical distancing, convening in a congregational setting of multiple different households to practice a personal faith carries a relatively higher risk for widespread transmission of the COVID-19 virus, and may result in increased rates of infection, hospitalization, and death, especially among more vulnerable populations. In particular, activities such as singing and chanting negate the risk- reduction achieved through six feet of physical distancing.

 

*Places of worship must therefore discontinue singing and chanting activities and limit indoor attendance to 25% of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower. Local Health Officers are advised to consider appropriate limitations on outdoor attendance capacities, factoring their jurisdiction’s key COVID- 19 health indicators. At a minimum, outdoor attendance should be limited naturally through implementation of strict physical distancing measures of a minimum of six feet between attendees from different households, in addition to other relevant protocols within this document.

 

California had begun re-opening places of worship a few weeks ago, as the state had succeeded in slowing the spread of the disease. But a surge of cases since early June — coinciding with the eruption of the Black Lives Matter protests — has caused the state to reinstate many restrictions.
