They forced us to go to the Grand Hotel on 3rd and Figueroa and they kicked everybody out of Union Station so it looks better for the image,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Grand Hotel is 1.5 miles away from Union Station \u2014 a long way for those who might not have reliable transportation.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the Los Angeles city council, though, insist that they worth with community organizations and non-profits to find assistance for members of Union Station\u2019s homeless community and that those living rough near the Oscars venue were given housing options.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the 93rd Academy Awards are being held at Union Station this year, and despite irresponsible rumors, NO unhoused residents are being forced to relocate. Since being sworn in, my office has been painstakingly working to house those experiencing homelessness throughout my district and we were able to offer housing options to unhoused residents in the vicinity of Union Station.\u201d one city council member told Fox11.<\/p>\n<p>An Oscars \u201cmedia representative\u201d also told Fox News \u201cthat organizers for the Oscars have worked with several community, county, and city nonprofits to limit disruption for Union Station\u2019s homeless population, including the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority and People Assisting the Homeless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Twitter, however, did not believe the city\u2019s excuse. Instead, commenters took aim at the Hollywood hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018So we\u2019re moving the homeless from union station for one evening to make the woke celebrities feel comfortable and try to hide the fact that LA doesn\u2019t have a serious epidemic. So woke. I hope the homeless crash the oscars in full force,\u201d one user noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHollywood celebs never stop telling us how \u2018caring\u2019 and \u2018compassionate\u2019 they are until there\u2019s a chance that homeless people ruin their red carpet on Oscars night what a bunch of narcissistic virtue-signaling hypocrites,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
