N.Y. Will Transfer Homeless Males From Liberal Neighborhood After Backlash
September 9, 2020
Updated: 10 hours ago
Practically 300 homeless males who had been briefly residing in a resort on the Higher West Facet of Manhattan might be relocated after weeks of backlash from some residents who stated the boys had diminished the standard of life within the upscale neighborhood.
Town had moved the boys into the resort, the Lucerne, in July as a part of an effort to curb the unfold of the coronavirus in New York’s dormitory-style homeless shelters. Over all, hundreds of homeless women and men have been positioned in resorts across the metropolis.
But the decision was met with particular blowback on the Upper West Side, turning into a take a look at of values for a largely white neighborhood with a fame as one of the liberal enclaves in New York and elsewhere within the nation.

New York City needs more neighborhoods in revolt against City Hall

A strange thing happened last week: In response to a community concern (amplified by Post reporting), Mayor de Blasio . . . acted. No, he didn’t solve the problem, but he didn’t ignore it, either. It’s a glimmer of hope for New York: grassroots groups can get results.
In July, the Upper West Side got a shock. With no warning, the city dumped 283 men in the Hotel Lucerne on Amsterdam. These men aren’t just down on their luck: They suffer from mental illnesses and addictions. With street traffic already down significantly, the warehousing of vulnerable men with no daytime supervision became a tipping point. Pedestrians had to fear random attack. Kids saw addicts shooting up. Witnesses filmed paid sex acts in the streets — incidents that, considering the incapacitated condition of the so-called sex workers, appear to be assault.
