Given the troubling rollout of the Sedgwick Garden’s project, the neighbors have every right to be very concerned here.

Nothing troubling about Sedgwick Garden's. The mayor made money off of it. Are there other questions?

"Critics from approximately 60 social justice organizations wrote a letter to the mayor pointing out that three major donors to Bowser’s mayoral campaign would profit from the leases given to new homeless centers (Sedgwick Gardens) and asked why Bowser would not instead build new homeless shelters on public land controlled by Washington, D.C. Bowser remained adamant to her own plans and pushed forward, regardless of pleas from the community to work together."

Where is this quote from? Very disturbing if true.

There was a large expose about this from WaPo about a year ago:

It looks like the quote is from the Daily Caller talking about the impact of the article:

vile.

And remember that the main impetus for the mayor’s decision to rush the closure of DC General was to make it available for development by her crony contributors. It wasn’t about improving services for the homeless.

I missed this yesterday. Where the five sites released by the city? Do we know their relationship yet with DC Health if any or as previously asserted, are they simply contracted hotels?

There has to have been some sort of update since this was exposed.

Here we go. Located the other four sites:

1. Ivy City Hotel at 1615 New York Ave NE, 42 Occupancies 12 Vacant
2. Hotel Arboretum at 1917 Bladensburg Rd NE, 71 Occupied and 19 Vacant
3. Days Inn at 4400 Connecticut Ave NW, 143 Occupied and 7 Vacant
4. Capitol Skyline Hotel at 10 I St SW, 0 rooms occupied 203 rooms vacant
5. Fairfield Inn at 2305 New York Ave NE, 0 rooms occupied and 126 rooms vacant

Wow, kind of stunned that Capitol Skyline has been tapped.

Hotel Arboretum and the Fairfield Inn are next door to one another.

Interestingly across the street from a DC homeless shelter 'hotel'.

Lots of escorts work out of there. It’s sketchier than you think. Management there looks the other way on a lot stuff. MPD makes a lot of calls to that hotel.

Ok. I did not know that. They used to be known for having reinvented the happy hour 'pool' scene. They had moved very 'hip' and trendy. Interesting that they also brought sex in as well. That is another conversation for another thread.

Can we just please dispense with Days Inn wanting to “help the community.” It’s nothing but a cash grab. They are hurting they actual community they are located in. All those neighboring restaurants donate to the school auctions, sponsor sports teams, etc. The Days Inn, not so much. I will never stay at a Days Inn or Wyndham property again.

"The city has signed 90-day contracts with the hotels, but it’s unclear at this point if the contracts will be renewed at a later time. DHS says costs range from $125 to $181 per room per night, with some of the hotels charging for meeting rooms or housekeeping. At a full 90 days for each hotel, this would mean the District is likely to spend tens of thousands of dollars on the quarantine sites. The expense would increase if the contracts are extended as the pandemic continues."
