Bus loads of Indian men every day being dropped off 40-50 at a time at hotels on south second road.  Many of these hotels were closed for 2 years.  I doubt if any of these hotels got fully staffed before accepting all the low rent tourists .  Likely 4-5 men per room.  so fire danger exists as well. 

Cannot find maids to work for minimum wage and have to clean these rooms, change sheets and towels daily I would suspect

Same in Europe and the UK. Hotels got rid of staff in the pandemic and they all found they could get easier jobs paying more money elsewhere. Hotels worldwide need to up their wages and working conditions even if that means upping their prices or cutting their profits a bit.

That has been happening for years

Before it was a well kept secret you could donate your furniture and that would be an easy and cheap way to dispose of old furniture

 

People caught on to that and they got inudated with donations
