San Diego leaders are requesting state funds to buy three hotels for the city’s homeless at a cost of $383,000 per room, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
The wealthy city, where homelessness has surged to record highs in recent months, will apply for the funds from California governor Gavin Newsom's (D.) latest $736 million round of funding from his homelessness grant program. City officials were unfazed by the cost of the plan, with commissioner Ryan Clumpner calling it "a fantastic value proposition."
Commissioner Stefanie Benvenuto called the value of the purchases "incredible when you see the cost at the door."
