Some how this news puts a huge smile on my face. I hope it happens repeatedly in SF, Austin, LA and other true blue cities.
Some of the Low Lights:
The homeless shelter will be created inside the former Park Savoy Hotel in New York city's Billionaire's Row
The area includes the most expensive home in the United States - a $238 million penthouse sold in 2019 - and the tallest residential building in the world
The shelter will cost $63 million over nine years, or $50,000 per person, according to the West 58th Street Coalition, which is campaigning against the shelter
The shelter is part of Mayor Bill de Blasio's 'Turning the Tide' plan to create 90 homeless shelters across the city
A homeless shelter is to be created on one of New York City's most expensive streets, after a legal battle to prevent its opening ended in defeat.
A New York state appeals court on Thursday dismissed the concerns voiced by a coalition of residents and businesses from the Manhattan neighborhood by Central Park, nicknamed Billionaire's Row.
Billionaire's Row is not actually one street, or officially defined.
