I hope the rich libbies will remember their opposition to being forced to live in proximity to this class of people the next time they want lecture the middle and working classes who also don't want to be forced to live with this element in or adjacent to their neighborhoods.

What the article doesn’t tell you is that the homeless people were moved into the hotels simply to keep the hotels in business while their normal revenues from tourism and business travel plummeted.

And every single one of these rich people voted Democrat.

Every. Single. One.

And every single one of them still thinks Trump is Hitler and smugly believe THEY are the compassionate ones.

Liberalism is a mental disease.

[DaBroasta]

Wow—didn’t see that one coming.

When the homeless move out, will they be taking the cockroaches, and bedbugs with them?

I wouldn’t stay in those infested dumps for anything.

“In shelters is where we can provide support, a variety of services and the pathway out of shelter and into a better life,’ he said.”

Yeah, that’s the ticket!

[coloradan]

No! That's exactly the wrong thing to do! Just as in the matter of gun control and welfare programs, if crime rates are soaring because there are homeless people living amongst others in the city, it's because there aren't enough of them, and more homeless people should be housed there. After all, when crime rates soar in inner cities with gun control, it's because there isn't enough gun control, and when certain demographics are torn apart by welfare programs, it's because the benefits aren't generous enough. So, hopefully, they will see the error of their ways and put even more homeless people in these same hotels, and even expand the effort to neighboring hotels, that are currently underserving the homeless population.

record-low COVID infections.??

They’ll have the burn the hotels down.

Or nuke them from orbit. (Only way to be sure.)

Screw ‘em, they voted for it. They need to embrace the suck that they voted for.

'It is time to move homeless folks who were in hotels for a temporary period of time back to shelters, where they can get the support they need,' de Blasio said at his daily press briefing.

Those hotels will need to be gutted and re-built.

The filth and destruction is beyond belief, well not really.

Who is paying for the cleaning, painting, replacing remodeling that is surely going to be required.

Why do they need services? Homeless people are just like you and me. Only evil Republicans claim that homeless people are disproportionately mentally ill or addicted to drugs. We're all just a paycheck away from being homeless. And if we lost that paycheck, why would we need anything more than a nice hotel room and financial support while we look for another job?

...crime has surged more than 170%

We'll need a mob of Paul Kerseys to correct that, since the cops are forbidden to do so.
