Homelessness is a nationwide problem. I was on a trip recently, and I saw an abandoned hotel, still with a solid infrastructure, and I thought that the hotel could be renovated and made into a dwelling place where homeless people could at least have a place to sleep and bathe. (Food would be a question; while suite hotels have kitchens in the rooms, most regular hotels don't.)
Apparently this isn't a completely dumb idea.
"Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is proposing a record-breaking $1.3 billion budget that would see the city buy up hotels to house homeless residents.
The Democrat, who was elected in November after promising to take on the city's out-of-control homeless crisis, said the budget would also provide homeless people with treatment programs."
