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. |
