FOX5NY: NEW YORK – After several years of back-and-forth battles, a homeless shelter has opened along the so-called Billionaires’ Row in Manhattan.
The former Park Savoy Hotel on West 58th Street is now a home for around 140 men.
.
.
It quietly opened last Friday despite repeated and costly efforts by neighbors to block it.
Only a handful of men have moved in so far and move-ins will be staggered each week until the shelter is full.
The shelter is being run by not-for-profit social service provider WestHab. It will serve those who are either working or actively seeking employment. more
Something tells me the billionaires won’t be offering to let these guys carpool to work with them.
I actually like this kind of idea. FJB, F the establishment that wants to rule everything.
I have been a long supporter of a similar, successful enterprise in the Denver area (Step Denver). Do not take public funds, require the participants to be sober and to be looking for work.
We will see if it can be successful in NY and on billionaires row. I am not hopeful because the establishment will probably screw it up
NYC wants to fix the city up and make it into a real dump. This should be an improvement.
Unfortunately, slow suicide and overdose are the only permanent cures for homelessness in many cities.
Lol!
The limousine liberals who demand everyone else sacrifice, etc are getting paid back.
In Cape Elizabeth, ME they have lots of well to do liberals. Including leftist politicians.
Their town council approved a 46 subsidized housing project right on the main drag next to Town Hall.
Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cracks me up.
Funny- Here in western WA-WA, my town put up a “men’s shelter” right next to the train station.
Not Funny- put a “men’s shelter” over 120 beds in my neighborhood, about two blocks from an elementary school.
