Reply to comment by NetQuarterLatte in New Yorkers witnessed more homelessness, encampments during Mayor Adams’ first year by Nscience

What I dont understand though is the city has clearly shown that it can afford to house people in 3 star hotels and that given the right incentive or people they will do so. If they can do it for asylum seeker families why not for homeless?

i think the answer is that what the city has shown is that it's willing to pay for people to stay in 3 star hotels, which is not at all the same as being able to afford it

Because they only care about the optics of “doing something” for asylum seekers and making Texas look bad for sending them here. “Look we took care of them”.
