Arguments for hotel rooms right now are often referring to purchasing actual hotel buildings and running them as shelters with private rooms - California and Washington have both done this on occasion.
I don’t like this kind of thinking. We should be evaluating the idea on its own merit, not tying to frame it as something acceptable because it is centrist - a word which is rapidly loosing any distinction.
It's a massively inefficient "solution" that does nothing to address the issue. Provide housing, don't give a ton of money to hotel chains.
