NY Times: Migrant Hotels Make Visiting New York City More Expensive than Ever



by JOHN BINDER 27 May 2024

The cost of illegal immigration is bearing out in the Big Apple and tourists are the latest to foot the bill.

New York City is more expensive than ever to visit, primarily due to Mayor Eric Adams (D) converting tons of hotels into shelters for newly arrived migrants, the New York Times reported Saturday. As Breitbart News has chronicled, Adams currently has about 65,000 migrants living in more than 16,500 hotel rooms across New York City.

The result has been skyrocketing hotel room costs for tourists who pay the price while hotels, often owned by the largest conglomerates, are raking in up to $185 per hotel room per night, whether migrants are staying in the room or not.

“The average daily rate for a hotel stay in New York City increased to $301.61 in 2023, up 8.5 percent from $277.92 in 2022, according to CoStar, a leading provider of commercial real estate data and analysis,” the Times reported:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I certainly don't. There was a time I wanted to go back, see some museums, etc., but have definitely reconsidered.
NYC is like dozens of other Dem-run cities: very unsafe, overrun with illegals, dirty and unappealing.

Dems don't understand supply and demand.

Those are just evil private businesses out to make evil profits for their evil CEOs.

With over 120 hotels in NYC converted to taxpayer-funded migrant accommodation, the average price of a room has surged past $300 per night. The city has also cracked down on Airbnb rentals. An estimated 180k migrants have arrived in the city since 2002.

Story at The Post Millennial, NYC hotel rates reach record highs as city fills rooms with illegal immigrants.

I’ve always thought that it would be interesting to go to New York City to at least visit the 9/11 Memorial

I won’t be doing that now
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
