LOS ANGELES — Four weeks ago, Mayor Karen Bass' homelessness team found a warm place indoors for Princeton Parker, a 38-year-old living in a tent on L.A.'s Westside.
Parker was delighted by his move to the Hotel Silver Lake at the edge of Silver Lake and Historic Filipinotown. The rooms were large, and his friends from the encampment were close by. "It felt like I had a home," he said.
But that arrangement was upended last week when Bass' Inside Safe operation abruptly moved him and about 20 others to a hotel in downtown L.A. When that location didn't work out, Parker was then sent to a third hotel in Hollywood. He has felt lonely and isolated since then.
