The suite life: Debt-ridden de Blasio spending thousands to live large at Brooklyn hotel

Former Mayor Bill de Blasio and his wife have racked up $2.5 million in debt, but that isn’t stopping them from living large at a pricey, four-star Brooklyn hotel.

After leaving office four months ago, de Blasio and Chirlane McCray made a beeline from Gracie Mansion to the swanky New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge — where suites run from about $600 to $5,000 a night — and have been staying there ever since while their home in Park Slope, Brooklyn, undergoes renovations, according to hotel staffers and other sources.

The 667-room hotel — which features an indoor pool, fitness center with Pelotons, two restaurants and spectacular waterfront views — is owned by Muss Development, a Queens-based real estate giant whose owners have been longtime supporters of de Blasio.

The company is also one of the Big Apple’s top landlords who rent city agencies office space, having racked up at least $239 million in city contracts since 2014, when de Blasio became mayor, records show.

De Blasio still gets NYPD security, despite refusal to pay for misuse

He’s still taking New Yorkers for a ride.

Former Mayor Bill de Blasio continues to be chauffeured around town by an NYPD security detail despite refusing to pay taxpayers back nearly $320,000 that city investigators say he owes for misusing the perk while in office, The Post has learned.

Since leaving City Hall four months ago, de Blasio and wife Chirlane McCray have had a team of six NYPD detectives and a sergeant assigned to be their personal limousine and security service, police sources said.

The cops rotate so that least two are always on call to service the former First Couple from early morning to late at night.

Another example of what Marxism really is. They Holy Enlightened Ones live like gods and rulers, you are serfs.

No mercy to these pr**ks. They should either be in prison, or living in cardboard boxes on the street, penniless.
The Republic is lost.
