And this is why you don't bail out the blue states. California Using $100 Million of $550 Million Federal Coronavirus Funds to Put Homeless in Hotels

And this is why you don't bail out the blue states. California Using $100 Million of $550 Million Federal Coronavirus Funds to Put Homeless in Hotels.  California’s new Homekey program, which will dish out $100 million to convert Bay Area hotels and motels into permanent homeless housing, has attracted about 20 applicants in its first three weeks as cities and counties race to beat next Thursday’s tight filing deadline. And though there has been just one solid bite in San Francisco, there may soon be more.

So when we see folks say we need supplies, testing, and a vaccine cure, the governor uses that money to turn hotels and motels into housing.

The SF Chronicle reported that the state has received about 100 initial applications so far, according to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) office.
San Francisco Supervisor Hillary Ronen suggested a more militant approach if properties do not become available. 
“If we can’t find willing sellers, we should consider addressing this major problem by eminent domain,” Ronen said. “Homekey is a solution, but we need much more like it. We have to do everything we can.”
