Martha's Vineyard, Mass. – Playground of the powerful Martha’s Vineyard lacked the resources to care for the 50 migrants who landed there unexpectedly on Wednesday, local residents told Fox News Digital this weekend.
But real estate data and Massachusetts state resources show otherwise. Island towns are flush with cash and plenty of extra beds to help needy people.
Edgartown, for example, boasts $9.8 million in free cash — budget surplus — according to the Massachusetts Department of Revenue.
It would have cost only $9.1 million to give all 50 migrants their own room for an entire year at Edgartown’s swanky $500-per-night Harbor View Hotel.
Martha’s Vineyard "is not the best place for them to start fresh," artist "Z" Leach told Fox News Digital on Saturday during a street fair in Oak Bluffs, a town celebrated for its colorful Victorian "gingerbread homes" overlooking the ocean.
"There’s no place to live here," she said. "Housing is bad."
"We have a major housing crisis as it is," echoed Rachel Hines, who works for the nonprofit Vineyard Preservation Trust.
She also helps run a new Oak Bluffs eatery called TigerHawk Sandwich Co.

The world is laughing at you, hypocrites.
Tigerhawk Sandwich Co menu ...a crispy chicken sandwich is just $16. ...bag of fries, $8.
Biggest hypocrites ever.
Fews liberals aren't hypocrites, and they are few and far between.
If I’m not mistaken there’s also an extreme lack of resources out in the desert that a lot of these people are trying to transit. They die there.
Well, I guess that liberals are total evil, and I agree.
LOL!!!
*standing ovation*
Easy enough to understand. Just put Spanish on the signs, along with English. I'm waiting for the required Spanish wording along with English, just like the John Candy movie about being stopped by the police because the truck did not have French wording in Canada.
Too bad they don’t offer biscuits and gravy or breakfast burritos. If they did, they’d probably be overpriced as well.
They really are mentally defective.
the rich are cheap
thats how they got rich
CONCUR! Round of applause!
I actually checked to see if this was The Babylon Bee.
“The original carriage houses were popular in the Northeastern United States and served dual purposes. These two-story structures housed the horses and their gear downstairs while their caretaker resided above them on an upper floor.
“’This was a self-sustaining structure with a small kitchen and bathroom,’ says Michael Menn, principal of Michael Menn Ltd., based in Northbrook, IL. ‘The stableman typically resided in the carriage house.’”

Coney Island has lots of housing.
Why can’t Martha’s Vineyard be Jose’s & Pedro’s place too?
If ask in Spanish, they’ll tell you they came to build housing.
Martha’s Vineyard could have some favelas.
Take a good look at what Joe’s selfish policies could do to your country too:

You must understand the Upper Class does not use their own money or resources for altruistic puprposes. They are known for going after Corporate donors and Government funds to virtue signal.
I’m sure they tried really hard, just couldn’t find any open rooms.
People living there should keep this in mind. If your house burns down or floods etc. you will have to leave while you wait for the rebuild/rehab. There is no housing available in MV.

thats how they got rich”
