I visited the UN years ago. A former friend worked there and she showed me around, took me to lunch in the delegates dining room. Great food. What stood out to me were delegates from African countries that didn’t have paved roads walking around in very expensive suits with $5,000 watches on their wrists.

I walked in feeling very privileged and walked out wanting the UN to be closed and the beautiful building converted to $$$$ condos.

When I was 5, my father took me there every week for chinese lessons. (I dreaded it). I avoid the area now like the plague.

Looked up some info

Does the UN pay taxes to NYC?

"The UN is a tax-exempt organization and does not pay local business income taxes, property taxes, or sales and use tax. The same is true for UN Agencies and Missions. Also, certain staff members of the UN and the Missions are issued personal sales tax exemption cards for local purchases."

Well, well, well, they certainly can afford to house illegals.
