Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday revealed a plan to buy properties around the city and turn them into permanent affordable housing, after moving more than 10,000 homeless people into hotels during the COVID-19 pandemic and shaming rich residents who have left the city as 'fair weather friends'.
The homeless-in-hotels scheme set up by de Blasio is one of many components to an escalating downward change in the city.
Many of New York's wealthy residents fled months ago - taking their disposable income and their tax dollars with them - and there are fears they may never come back.
Crime is on the up but de Blasio has stripped the police force of $1billion in response to Black Lives Matter protests.
Some retailers and restaurants have been forced to close permanently and those who are hanging on face continuously changing and difficult rules.
Earlier this year, it emerged that 139 struggling hotels are taking in homeless people to avoid deathly COVID-19 breakouts in shelters.
Through the program, they take $175 per person, per night which - with more than 13,000 homeless currently being housed in hotels - is more than $2.275million, according to anonymous city sources who have been quoted since May.
'Our community is terrified, angry and frightened,' one organizer of the 1,700 member group, Dr. Megan Martin, told The Post.
Local parents are particularly concerned with the ten registered sex offenders that have been accommodated in the Belleclaire as of Thursday, according to the state sex offender registry.
Local residents have reported seeing fights, have been verbally abused or harassed, seen people spitting - despite the ongoing pandemic - and have also seen people looking for, or using drugs.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG? GOOD GRIEF, THESE LEFTIES ARE WORLD CLASS PROBLEM SOLVERS.
Fellow soon-to-be-obedient slaves,
In case you’ve forgotten just WHO these folks are, they’re the GENIUSES who seek to run the new POST RESET ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT...but can’t even construct a BELIEVABLE LIE.
Sending out one of their TALKING POINT MEMOS to other Democrats and their willing fellow conspirators in the media turns out to have been a really STUPID IDEA. Allow THIS stupid/ignorant future slave/subject to offer a SUGGESTION: DON’T USE THE EXACT SAME NUMBER IN THE MEMO! It makes YOU look even dumber than the bulk of the mask wearing, trapped at home population you seek to enslave!
M’KAY??
CRITICAL 2 MINUTE VIDEO - the number 33

To do that he needs to create empty properties...
I think term limits prevents this idiot from running again. If he could run, hed probably win.
Sad, but true.
If I remember correctly, de Commio first ran against Carlos Danger.
Its like NYC voters have a death wish.
Most of the Homeless should be in Mental Institutions not Hotels
Whatever happened to good old chain gangs for vagrancy?
The man does not think.
I absolutely LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!! New Yorkers deserve each and every decision Mr Mayor implements. This is a made for Conservatism poster come to life.
Well, at least the New York homeless have proven not to be fair weather friends when DeBlasio raises taxes, Oh, that’s right, the homeless don’t pay taxes. They receive them from the people pay them and who have fled the city. Now, do you understand how it works, DeBlasio?
Does anyone else get the suspicion that this is a scheme by Blowsio and cronies to crash the value of real estate and buy low?
The majority of voters in nyc elected this life-loser commie (and his bizarre wife). I hope they enjoy the suck. Leftists (such as this ultimate loser) are Reverse Midas...everything they touch turns to s***. More popcorn!!!
Exactly what’s not to like about the mayor’s plan i think new York needs more of this just a couple more hotels and he will have solved the homeless problem. Him and farmer Mike Bloomberg certainly are super geniuses
I think this is a great idea but DeBlab thinks too small.
NYC should be turned into America’s Homeless Shelter. Kick out all the normals and all of America’s homeless will fit easily in NYC.
Another Face - Words - Deeds PSYCHOPATH from New York. He has the trifecta.
How EEEEASY can this get?
Why would the rich come back? Does anybody really believe NY will get better?
I just wish we could fence this zoo in and prevent all those wealthy Progressive a-holes from moving out and spreading their dangerous ideological filth throughout the nation.
We have the answer right now!

I think I read where De Blasio won with only 18% of the vote, because so few people in NYC voted at all.Theres at least 20% of any population thats foolish, so the real blame for DeBlasio rests with those in NYC who didnt bother to vote.
Great idea ; create hundreds of high-rise shitholes
They really are would doing this in major big Blue CCities.
He is going to put them smack dab in the wealthiest areas. You watch. I’m going to LMAO when the rich NY liberal cry.
