NYC relocating migrant tent city to Randall's Island

[NYPOST] The Big Apple will relocate — and downsize — its first tent city for ~~migrants~~ colonists from the Bronx to Randall’s Island due to flooding issues, according to City Hall.

The city has ditched the already-under construction site on Orchard Beach that would have housed 1,000 ~~migrants~~ colonists and will instead erect tents to accompany half that number on Randall’s Island, Mayor Adams said in a Monday night statement.

The move was prompted by flooding at the Bronx site following this weekend’s rain storms. The cost of flood mitigation efforts would be more expensive than the cost of relocation, a City Hall spokesperson told The Post.

"New York City Emergency Management determined that ... relocating the Orchard Beach humanitarian relief center to Randall’s Island is the most efficient and effective path forward, and work is underway to make this move," Adams said in a statement. "This new location is less prone to flooding, is closer to public transportation, and will provide temporary respite to 500 asylum seekers."

The initial capacity for 500 adults can be increased, the mayor’s office said.

#3 After Alexandria Ocasio Cortez complained. She wants these invaders, I mean immigrants, just not in her district.

#4 Yup, flood of "Not my Neighborhood" petitions.

Randall's Island appears to be a bit upscale itself, as well as quite trying Winter weather.
