Council meeting in affluent San Francisco neighborhood descends into chaos as residents protest turning hotel into homes for 100 homeless people

A local council meeting in an affluent San Francisco neighborhood descended into chaos when hundreds of ‘rowdy’ residents began booing plans to place homeless people in a nearby hotel.

Crowds of angry Millbrae residents packed out their local community hall on Friday to protest ‘Project Homekey’ proposals to house 100 rough sleepers at the La Quinta hotel on El Camino Real, close to the city center.

So many people turned up that hundreds had to stand outside the 300-man capacity hall to hear proposals outlined by San Mateo County Executive Mike Callagy.
