A hotel with a permanent no vacancy isn't a hotel, its a compound.

I don't care what they own, or what they do with it.

However, I care a lot about their getting a tax break for doing such stupid stuff.

All churches should lose their tax-exempt status.

That's their M.O. As a tax exempt 'church' (I use that term loosely) they spend all of their money from their members buying real estate, as L. Ron Hubbard originally did. And because they claim to be using the buildings for 'Spiritual Purposes', they are exempt from paying property tax.

They own almost half the real estate on Hollywood Boulevard and a lot all over LA.

This was in Clearwater, where they own huge chunks (if not most) of the downtown area.

As I recall they bought up a bunch of real estate because they had to use up money every year. Some tax thing and a way to generate revenue
