Check-out time: 9,000 of Manhattan's homeless are finally evicted from Upper West Side hotels after De Blasio moved them in during height of COVID crisis

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]

The Lucerne Hotel in the Upper West Side was one of the first hotels to be cleared out after the state of emergency in New York expired

Up to 200 homeless men lived at the Upper West Side hotel during the height of the pandemic, though only 68 were left when they were forced to leave Monday

They were being taken to 'congregate' shelters across the city

In total, around 9,000 homeless people are being moved from hotels to commercial shelters in the coming weeks

In those shelters, multiple people will likely have to sleep in the same room, a concern with the amount of homeless people vaccinated in the city not known

On Tuesday, The Blakely became the latest hotel to be cleared out of their homeless population, with the Kixby Hotel also seeing evictions on the same day

As the pandemic has waned, there has been a push to start reopening hotels, both across the city and across the country, which had similar hotel stays

The move to vacate the hotels comes as de Blasio's administration faces mounting pressure to curtail an alarming surge in crime

I shudder to think what it’ll take to get the hotels fit for business after a year of such tenants.

#3 I shudder to think what it’ll take to get the hotels fit for business after a year of such tenants.

I expect loss deductions, fires, abandonment and rezoning.
