A New York state appeals court on Thursday dismissed the concerns voiced by a coalition of residents and businesses from the Manhattan neighborhood by Central Park, nicknamed Billionaire's Row.

I’m glad they are getting it good and hard. Liberals support policies that hit other people, for their personal benefit. So, it’s nice to see it come back to bite them good and hard.

The ultimate in NIMBY hypocrisy. These turds voted for the guy who plans to inject Section-8 garbage into housing developments across the country, but now they're up in arms about the same happening to them. Let them feel the pain.

Chickens come home to roost.

Put eminent domain to good use and condemn a floor of Chelsea’s building to make a halfway house for violent felons being released from prison.

Not to mention crime and dirtying up the surrounding area. Disgusting. But, this is what New Yorkers voted for and they deserve it.

What concerns could those possibly be?

They didn't have any concerns when they voted for this - believing it was going to go into YOUR neighborhood and not theirs.

Suck it up you fools.

Why build a new homeless shelter when they can turn over the billionaire’s existing shelters that they vacated months ago like rats who ate holes in the hull with their votes abandoning ship?
