The folks in charge of this are probably well-meaning

I bet if you follow the money, it doesn't end up that far from the folks in charge of this.

I have some PK stock (Hilton hotels). I am dumping that shite tomorrow. If they're going to contract out hotel rooms to homeless people, I can find some place else to put my money.

All political. Party in power can’t risk another ‘everybody dying on the streets’ fiasco. Freaking give these people a bag with a tarp, blanket and 40 cans of tuna.

The move by state and city officials is aimed at lowering the density of homeless people at the Hilton.


What are the chances that this makes it in the # 1 or 2 top advertising slogans of 2020?

Medical corps volunteers said there have been one or two overdoses per day, usually involving oxycodone, but the hotel has few overdose rescue kits or syringes and staff lack training in how to use them.


Please tell me part of this brilliant plan didn't involve taking hotel staff and asking them to do medical and first responder jobs for homeless people

Yep. I’ll do everything I can to make sure people know to avoid these hotels forever. I guess Hilton is raking in tons of “government” money. (Our money).

Those hotel workers are not medical professionals and should not have to subject themselves to trying to save homeless assholes who overdose.

That's a bad idea at any time. The hotels may have to be razed once this is over.

Gotta spend that money when you know it will be Federally reimbursed.


They have received no guarantee it will be

Allegedly the non profit involved is even doing fundraisers to help gather money for the project.

I’ve heard the rate involved is like $50 a room per day and payment terms are completely up in the air. Really crazy anyone agreed to this. If a full buy out for the month it’d be about $225k, IF they collected full payment. Really a disaster from every angle.
