'We are not equipped to handle some of the issues that arise with the unhoused,' Ray Patel, who owns the Welcome Inn in Eagle Rock, told CBSLA
The Los Angeles City Council is set to consider an ordinance that would require hotels to offer up vacant rooms to the homeless whether they want to be a part of the program or not.
Industry experts said the city won't go places like the Four Seasons because of the price tag, but would likely go to mom-and-pop run hotels. "I worry every day that they may come back with another notice and put us out," said another man, who because he has a dog is not allowed to stay at most shelters."You don't know where you're going to lay your head. I've slept under a bridge, in the park, abandoned buildings."
"We are not equipped to handle some of the issues that arise with the unhoused," Ray Patel, who owns the Welcome Inn in Eagle Rock, told CBSLA.
