Yes, the hotel is managed by bad people. But the underlying assumption is more hideous still: if you are poor, you are dangerous. How else to explain that the poor cannot be allowed even as paying guests – “what if they raped or murdered one of our guests?” But that’s a dodge. It’s not so much the physical safety of the guests that required the cancellation. It’s the sense that the place would be contaminated by the very presence of the poor. And I suppose that’s true. Knowing that you were in the presence of extreme deprivation would kind of put a damper on that luxe Moet and caviar celebration of … the birth of the Savior. thinkprogress.org/economy/2015/01/08/3609625/luxury-hotel-homeless-christmas-cancel/
