So he's got four hotels to choose from but needed to clarify to AP that he didn't mean homeless-homeless, just that his $15.2 million beachfront place isn't ready for handing out Halloween lollies. Worth remembering: if your property's been evacuated for emergency access reasons, check your insurance covers temporary accommodation costs during the repair period.
