San Diego's plan to house more than 400 homeless people in hotels comes with a hefty price tag, but one business owner says it won't address the root of the problem.

‘HUGE FAILURE’ TO THINK HOTELS WILL ‘MAGICALLY’ FIX ADDICTION, MENTAL ILLNESS, CEO SAYS:"It does not work well for people who are mentally ill and are on drugs," she said."It's a huge failure on our part to think we're going to take them off the street and somehow, magically, just because they're in a hotel room, that they're going to be free of drugs and alcohol or mental illness.

"It would be done. Your plan failed. Now it's time for a new plan," she said."It doesn't work like that in homeless advocacy. They get more money and more money and more money and if they fix the homeless problem, the money goes away."
