Los Angeles, under the leadership of an extremely far-left official, Mayor Eric Garcetti, is talking about taking over hotels if they ever received a tax break for any reason.
The far-far-left Los Angeles city council voted on Wednesday to identify any hotels refusing to house the homeless as part of Project Roomkey. Then they want to investigate if any of those hotels have gotten tax breaks from the city in the past. If they had, they think these hotels may need to be “commandeered”. Another word for ‘commandeered,’ is ‘seized.’
THEY WILL TAKE THEM OVER
The city wants to house 15,000 homeless through the project. Only 1,582 have been housed as of Wednesday. The city can’t seem to understand why hotels that aren’t participating so they are just going to take them over.
“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.”
VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS???
The far-far-left officials say hotels resisting in that use of their private property are violating civil rights!!! That’s nuts. What about the civil rights of the people living in the hotels?
FOXLA reporter Bill Melugin said in a pair of Twitter posts, “The LA city council voted today to identify any hotels refusing to house the homeless via Project Roomkey & investigate any city tax breaks they’ve gotten in the past. Councilman Bonin suggested these hotels are violating civil rights and suggested “commandeering” them.”
Hey, rich people, stop voting for people who hate you, vote Republican.
PUSHING BACK!
“The homeowners association at the Ritz Carlton is pushing back. Hundreds of people pay millions of $$ to live in the 224 condo units on the residence side of the hotel, and they fear there will be security and health issues if hundreds of homeless are brought in,” he added.
Our society is sick and not because hotels don’t want to — logically – participate. Having personal experience with tent cities and their inhabitants, I can tell you that many are very dangerous. They are mostly drug addicts and mentally ill people. They are unable to take care of themselves properly, including properly disposing of their bodily wastes.
THE TWEETS

Getting money from government, even in the form of tax breaks, ALWAYS has strings attached. This has been proven time and time again when some federal government agency threatens to withhold funds approved by Congress if a state or municipality does not comply with some mandate some high tier bureaucrat demands. Example; highway funds if states did not lower and strictly enforce a 55mph speed limit, enact and strictly enforce seat belt laws and lower the standard for determining if a person was drunk to 0. 01% to 0.008%. The reasoning of the 55mph was total BS. And I’m not saying people should not wear seat belts nor am I defending drunk driving but the federal government making these demands on states’ rights under threat of withholding funds is the point of my comment. And what the federal government does, states and local governments will also do.
Well said. IF the corrupt and insane council members feel so strongly about it – take one home with them!
Kinda’ like no guns for you but armed guards for me ideology… Want ME to be disarmed ?- then take ALL guns away from City Hall and remove ALL armed guards for ALL City and County Office areas. YOU do it, then I will. But not until……and I won’t hold my breath….
What a ridiculous idea .Putting The homeless at the Ritz . Why don’t we put them in the L.A.City councils’ houses
Or maybe those Hellywooders that live in massive homes inside their tight bubbles. These people hate us, but want our money;)
