Getting homeless people off the street and into permanent homes is not a controversial idea. Getting people to agree on where they should live, however, can be a tough sell.
San Diego city officials are experiencing that challenge once again as plans move forward to buy two hotels that could house 400 homeless people who are staying at a temporary shelter in the San Diego Convention Center.

Confusion reigned late on Monday night – after the Government appeared to trail a non-essential travel ban only to water down the plan hours later.
Sources told BirminghamLive the measure was coming on Monday afternoon, in advance of the Prime Minister’s statement on the new three-tier system for dealing with coronavirus.

Industry associations on Tuesday panned President Trump’s announcement of an end to coronavirus relief negotiations until after the election, calling it “reprehensible” and “woefully shortsighted.”
“Against this backdrop of human suffering, extraordinary job loss and millions of small businesses closing, the administration deciding to abandon relief negotiations is reprehensible,” ASTA said in a statement.
