This resolution relies on shaky assumptions and could risks failure to effectively plan for shelter this winter. There is no evidence this option would be any cheaper or more convenient than the hotel options. For example, the Sonoma State University example cited by some Council Members cost Sonoma County $5 million. What justification is there for prioritizing University housing (which is currently occupied and planned to be occupied into the Winter semester) to under-occupied hotel accommodations to ensure we have adequate shelter for all residents this winter?
