The Hilary memes edition
It’s a bold — and controversial — proposal. And it was approved Friday amid community support and opposition. At the request of Mayor Karen Bass, L.A. city councilmembers voted 12-2 to purchase the nearly 300-room Mayfair Hotel near downtown, to turn it into temporary housing for unhoused people.The mayor says this will ultimately save the city money on hotel rooms for unhoused people.
“I will hold all the stakeholders accountable, including the mayor's office and the mayor's team that has been rolling this through — and not in the best way,” Hernandez said just before the vote.The no votes were by councilmembers Monica Rodriguez and Tim McOsker, who applauded Hernandez’s efforts to address community concerns but said they couldn’t support the purchase.
It will be the first time the city buys a hotel for the mayor’s Inside Safe temporary housing program.The idea is that early next year, the Mayfair would become part of the mayor’s Inside Safe motel shelter program and replace the L.A. Grand Hotel, where the city is leasing rooms for $154 per day. They say unhoused people would hang out around the hotel and use drugs and alcohol and play loud music.to resolve claims of property destruction from when the hotel was used as a shelter for unhoused people.Bass and her staff say this time will be different. Under the mayor’s plans, they say the hotel will have much more on-site services, activities, security and building management to support people living at the Mayfair and keep the area safe.
Hornstock added that plans for the hotel include a coordinator to organize activities for people living there and on-site medical support.“And this acquisition is a big move and show of force in that direction.”Multiple councilmembers who voted for the purchase expressed concerns about a lack of community outreach by the mayor’s team.
“So I want to personally bear witness to that reality and commit to – with you and all the members of this council – to changing it and making this a place where neighborhoods can count on their city government.”“Every neighborhood in our city, and every district in our city, has to play a role in solving our housing and homelessness crisis,” she said.
