New York City officials will soon start the process of removing homeless people from the citys hotels, Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) promised Monday.
Its important to note that as the health situation has continued to improve, were gonna start the process of figuring out where we can get homeless individuals back into safe shelter facilities and reduce the reliance on hotels, the mayor said during a press conference.

They got contracts. They had no business due to the lockdown. They were desperate to stay alive.
In San Francisco there was a Meth lab in one.
again, just reinforcing the idea that rich people’s compaints matter more than poor people’s....
bwahaha!!
The rooms will most likely have to be completely gutted and rebuilt, not just deep cleaned.
We both are being kind here.:)
That POS better not put those hobos on a bus to other states. Like he’s done BEFORE.
“Why the F would hotels agree to this in the first place??
With shelter in place and quarantines they might not have had any business.
By allowing their rooms to become slimey pits for the homeless, they got some money per night/homeless person.”
One of our favorite NYC hotels, the Lucerne on the Upper West Side, housed the homeless and sex offenders under the Mayor’s program. The hotel received $175 per night per person; with two persons to a room (the typical arrangement), that’s $350 per room per night.
$$$ - with everything shut down and vacancy at nearly 100% - housing the homeless with guaranteed government income seemed a reasonable way to forestall disaster.
GUILTY WHITE LIBERALS...
"The (NYC) Special One-Time Assistance program gives qualified homeless families a year of rent paid upfront in order to help get them out of the shelter system and back on their feet. Figures from the Department of Homeless Services show that 3,539 families have enrolled in the program since it was introduced in late 2017. They can use the money, paid directly to the landlord of the building where they move, to move inside or outside the city, but 65 percent of them have moved out of the city many to New Jersey, where apartments are more affordable."
Don’t they have prohibitions against evictions? ....city, state, and federal??
When it’s all over, will insurance pay the $100,000 per room to fix them?

No, but the local and federal tax payers, including us will be paying.

In San Francisco there was a Meth lab in one.
Only one?
Well, one that they found
Because they had no paying customers due to the shutdown. The City paid them plenty For each drifter and they will have made money even though they will have a lot of damage to repair after the lowlifes are put back out.
They were bullied into it by the homeless activists. Sit-ins, shaming sessions, nuisance lawsuits, leveraging hostile media, the usual.
This happened WAY before the coronavirus. I've followed this story for YEARS.
Who pays the clean up/hazmat bill, Bill?
