Can this be done in a sanctuary city?

[farmguy]

I was already thinking, this ain’t going to end well for anyone that gave into joe and allowed their buildings to be turned into illegal alien housing.

None of those buildings will ever recover.

CEO’s quite often only measure things in share price. They often don’t consider ongoing concerns.

I'm sure Marriott and the Pride Hotel doesn't want the property back.

Sample pics of what migrants do to a nice hotel.

BTW, Did Marriott OK that queer name (Pride Hotel) in in the first place? If so, they get what they deserve.

[Jeff Chandler]

Does Marriott stand a chance in the New York court system?

That’s why they made it a federal lawsuit.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Eight years of construction?

I struggle to understand, how is this even a business feasibility? Yes, a “Big Dig” can take 15 years and a freeway widening project can take multiple years over multiple miles, but how can a commercial enterprise pay its debt service for 8 frickin’ years; unless the property is owned outright by Marriott, but even then, there have to be massive insurance costs and property taxes, and Marriott is going to just let the thing sit and eat money for 8 years?

Your tax dollars at work.

[Tennessee Nana]

Where ya been all this time ???

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Six years of permitting, union payoffs and environmental studies. Two years of actual construction

Now that's much more encouraging.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

I thought the hotels were delighted the government would pay 100% guaranteed full occupancy unlike real tourists who need advertising and perks to sign up for rooms.

Now a few million bedbugs, deadly fentanyl and cocaine in the carpets and sofas, a strong stench of feces and sweat and a few corpses hidden behind walls and the hotel chains get all in a tizzy. Go figure.

There are legitimate uses of the word pride in a corporate name. "Pilgrim's Pride" vitamins and "Pantry Pride" supermarkets come to mind.

It really was okay for the Flintstones to have a "gay old time".

THE CITY DOES NOT OWN THE BUILDING

[Responsibility2nd]

I get your point.

It really gets me that the homos have coopted “rainbow”.

A rainbow is a sign from God and is a beautiful part of His creation.

And they have redefined it to fit their nasty sinful lifestyle.

Yup. When we first moved to Phoenix, I was hesitant to step into a place called "Rainbow Donuts". It turns out it was just a solid donut shop whose name predates the common abuse of the term.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Slam-dunk case for Marriott.

[Organic Panic]

There is so much grift with this invasion. Absolutely disgusting. We can survive the “green” grift, but not the civilizational suicide of moving the turd world on our shore and on our tax dollars.

[EinNYC]

Archer Avenue is NOT a pretty place. It’s retail stores a la ghetto. Uck.

[Allegra]

I agree.

And it seems that most or all of the buildings they took in Manhattan for illegal immigrants were decent hotels of the 3-star and higher variety.

Probably the only remedy for those buildings after this will be the wrecking ball.
