Los Angeles hotel leader warns homeless housing proposal will 'kill' industry's marketability
Fox News
Los Angeles voters will decide on a policy that would force hotels to house the homeless, but some hotel leaders are worried about the impact on tourism.
Bailee Hill is an associate editor with Fox News Digital.
"What they're going to mandate, if this is passed by the electorate, is that we turn over our inventory to the city of Los Angeles, issued out homeless vouchers, and you know that that'll kill our marketability of the hotel industry," Patel told co-host Bill Hemmer. "It'll hurt us badly. The value of the hotels will go down and tourism and corporate travel will be affected in the city of Los Angeles."
The voucher program, which voters are expected to vote on in 2024, would require hotels to send the city information on their vacant rooms for the day by 2 p.m. daily.
