Los Angeles hotels provided rooms to thousands of homeless people during the coronavirus pandemic as part of Project Roomkey, but innkeepers are feeling less than hospitable about a proposal to host the homeless regularly.
Voters will decide on a union-backed ballot measure that would require hotels to offer daily any unoccupied rooms to the homeless, a plan aimed at fighting the homelessness crisis that Los Angeles hoteliers predict will devastate the industry as travelers flee outside city lines.
