"'There are so many practical impediments that this seems like a pipe dream to me,' said Eric Sussman, a real estate professor at UCLA.
Those impediments include the state ordering not just hotels to go along with the plan but those hotels’ insurers. 'The insurance companies could just say ‘no,’' Sussman speculated. 'Is the hotel also supposed to provide mental health services? Drug counseling services?'
The professors’ concern that the plan would be more a compliance issue for hotels than actual benefit for the homeless was shared by homeless advocates."
