New York City to Spend $1.365 Billion on Hotels Alone to Shelter Migrants for Three More Years

New York City is planning on spending a staggering extra $1billion on hotel rooms for immigrants for three more years.
The city’s contract with the more than 100 hotels-turned-shelters, which was supposed to end this year, will now end in August 2026 and cost a total $1.365 billion – almost five times the original price tag of $237 million.
The new cost does not include other facilities turned into shelters such as the tent shelters set up in the McCarren Recreation Center in Queens or the Island Shores Assisted Living in Staten Island.
Mayor Eric Adams said on September 9 that spending would be slashed by 15 percent through next spring to cope with the influx of 116,000 migrants in 2023, with 60,000 of the desperate people being housed in the city.
How much border wall could we build for that amount of money? That would stop the problem from going on for years and years, like Ukraine’s war.
Snowman – you’d think it would be enough to build a damn labyrinth.
It seems to me that any tax funds spent on illegals would be embezzlement of city/county/state funds.
I just moved back to California. Traffic was light, most heading in the opposite direction. I’m getting into a Slim Pickens groove. Oh, anybody know how to make a DEW shield?
A dense mountain? A reflector? A miniature DEW is needed to test various materials and methods in one’s garage or back yard. First there were garage bands, then garage computer inventors — what’s next?
