It doesn't make business sense to rent these units at the rent-controlled price.
But at $125 per night per person it could possibly be profitable for the landlord/slumlord.
The mayor is not going far enough. Everyone living in public housing should be required to take in at least one “migrant”. It’s time for the people receiving public housing benefits to start “giving back”.
So a homeowner accepts the deal—$125 a day to house an illegal alien. Then he is arrested for harboring an illegal alien and the government seizes his house. Then they can have a bunch of illegals living there without paying the former homeowner.
