Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday revealed a plan to buy properties around the city and turn them into permanent affordable housing, after moving more than 10,000 homeless people into hotels during the COVID-19 pandemic and shaming rich residents who have left the city as 'fair weather friends'.
The homeless-in-hotels scheme set up by de Blasio is one of many components to an escalating downward change in the city.
Many of New York's wealthy residents fled months ago - taking their disposable income and their tax dollars with them - and there are fears they may never come back.
Crime is on the up but de Blasio has stripped the police force of $1billion in response to Black Lives Matter protests.
Some retailers and restaurants have been forced to close permanently and those who are hanging on face continuously changing and difficult rules.
Earlier this year, it emerged that 139 struggling hotels are taking in homeless people to avoid deathly COVID-19 breakouts in shelters.
Through the program, they take $175 per person, per night which - with more than 13,000 homeless currently being housed in hotels - is more than $2.275million, according to anonymous city sources who have been quoted since May.
'Our community is terrified, angry and frightened,' one organizer of the 1,700 member group, Dr. Megan Martin, told The Post.
Local parents are particularly concerned with the ten registered sex offenders that have been accommodated in the Belleclaire as of Thursday, according to the state sex offender registry.
Local residents have reported seeing fights, have been verbally abused or harassed, seen people spitting - despite the ongoing pandemic - and have also seen people looking for, or using drugs.

F-it ... you morons elected an even bigger moron as your mayor and you vote 100% Democrat locally, state, and Federally ... so we here at FR have less than zero sympathy for the fact that you have to lie in the bed you made for yourselves ...
It has been known for a long time that the vile corrupt DumblASSio is owned by the NY real estate developers. They contributed heavily to his campaigns and they expect something back--favorable rulings on questionable real estate development. Past examples of this ba___d's corruption include the big push out of "animal rights" reasons to get rid of the very popular carriage horse rides in the city---so the real estate developers could then buy and develop the prime real estate upon which the stables stood midtown. This scheme did not succeed.
This piece of stinking excrement is also pushing for the Rikers Island prison to close and for jails to be put into every part of the city to fill them with the scuzzy people visiting the inmates, escaped inmates, and other assorted undesirables hanging around jails. Great for the quality of life of residents of those neighborhoods (not!) and great for his real estate buddies to then have the prime real estate of Rikers Island adjacent to the city to fill with luxury condos. Now we have this latest scheme, to run off the middle class so his real estate buddies can then buy up their vacated buildings and homes and build uber-expensive luxury housing for the very rich, or build beehives of housing for the homeless, who come from every corner of the country and the world to suck on the overly generous NYC welfare teat and then charge the city sky-high rents for them. When DumblASSio is involved, you KNOW something unscrupulous is not far behind.
Venezuela!!!! without the nice climate.
Incredible. $175/night? Someone is getting a kickback.
I went to Las Vegas last year over the Christmas holiday
for eight days. It cost me $99 dollars per night at Bally's.
Plus I got some free drinks in the casino, and I wasn't
even gambling! And it didn't cost an arm and a leg to eat
there.
$175/night is a ripoff of the taxpayer.
New York is a great place. Where I live... heaven on Earth. I say this about Buffalo all the time, and people don't believe me. But we are forever beholding to the left who center around New York City. New York City is a good six hours away from here. I could care less about that cesspool. But they drag every else in the state down with them. Nothing I can do but move, and I am chained to a stake in my back yard....
deBlasio hasn’t heard of Pruitt-Igoe...
MMM buy low, get rid of the Commie and then after new conservative mayor is elected start selling.....
When the entire population of NYC consists of bums what are they going to use to pay their obligations, like bonds, pensions, etc?
Lemme get this straight-the pagan moron running NYC out of existence bitching cuz rich people left & took their money with them.
His answer: house people who can’t pay rent in apartments of former tenants who did pay rent! Brilliant!!
Rich people leaving: less money for city.
Homeless replaces rich: using taxpayers money-(the rich) to house them.
The rich stay away.
This jackass couldn’t manage a jigsaw puzzle!
NYC is dead.
“NYC is dead”
And that is just the way we want it!
No words.
... ignoring history and the lessons it teaches ...

They don’t have to ignore it. In Chicago, they are planning on cancelling history.
It’s racist, you know.
$175 a night X 30 nights==$5250 a MONTH.
He needs to be removed!!!
Kaiser Wilhelm could use empty buildings to store large amounts of ammonium nitrate.
California did this... and they thrashed the hotels.
....
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Hey, de Blasio; they were never your friends. You may have thought they were, but they weren’t.
What a laugh! Affordable? Affordable means FREE, dimbwad.
