Pan Am contract request sums up de Blasio's debacle
Well that didn't take long. Check out HRA's proposed contract extension for the Pan Am Hotel. The taxpayer trough is open and Samaritan Village has lined up.

Sounds like a roach motel, "they check in but don't check out".
I can throw my roach motel out when full.
The cockroaches just keep coming, and coming, and coming...
No doubt about the types taking advantage of Sanctuary City program but Not all are roaches (sarc), a lot of these people were displaced from their homes because of the continuing high cost of living in this bogus luxury city or world's borough or the hip brand of Brooklyn in addition to raising of rents from the cause of all this speculation/fabrication.
This is the real affordable housing plan. Especially now that 421a is extended for 5 years. These extensions for and building new shelters are also speculative figures for what's certain to be future displacement of working poor residents.
The roaches are the ones running, owning and building the hotels, they know with this corrupt mayor, there is bigger bank to be made exploiting a crisis than to get real patronage from tourism.
Not a fan of The Big Dope, but this homeless-hotel thing is mandated by law, and goes back decades. NYC is required to pay for all comers. What needs to be done is to get the law changed, and that requires people to vote out the Welfare State-- good luck with that. Nothing will ever change as long as NYC must provide free room and board to all who show up.
Also it's a good thing they are providing "recreational activities" but how about job placement?
In the "new" New York, only people getting out of prison are entitled to job placement.

Where in the city charter does this mandate exist? I'm not trying to be snarky, I sincerely want to know. The Mayors Staffers Couldn't cite the local law....

....Doesn't shoplifting and harassing old ladies count as job placement or is that still considered recreation?
The right to shelter was established by a class action suit against NYC and NYS in 1979: Callahan vs. Carey. Decision was based on the court's interpretation of the NYS constitution, and further solidified in a 1981 consent decree.
Where in the city charter does this mandate exist?
It's not from the NYC Administrative Code, but rather is based on the result of a lawsuit, Callahan v. Carey, which in turn cited part of Article XVII of the New York State Constitution, which states: "the aid, care and support of the needy are public concerns and shall be provided by the state and by such of its subdivisions..."
if this practice of providing shelter for all new comers keeps happening eventually all of NYC will be knocking on DHS for shelter. Cost of this is killing taxpayers and the middle class. Besides it's ruining the neighborhoods.
Where in the city charter does this mandate exist?... Look up Callahan v Carey. It was the settlement of this lawsuit that did us in
They're already charging the taxpayers $3500/mo per room at the Pan Am. Now they want 10M more... now it's more like $5000. This is a disgrace. Is there no limit to their greed. If this bozo can't get arrested for what he is doing to the taxpayers, because the DAs, the prosecutors do not think they have enough to charge him with anything only means they're in cahoots with this. We need to vote them out now, before the shit hits the fan, and the city sinks...to a city like Detroit .
There is plenty of affordable housing.
It happens to be in The Carolinas, Kentucky, Kansas, Iowa, Arkansas, Tennessee, and some other Great states of this Union.
More brilliance of the Founding Fathers, freedom to travel, portability of assets and property, and fifty unique economic laboratories.
These locals also have low taxes, low utility rates, less government intrusion and regulations, mild climate, and many employment opportunities.
As they say: "if it is too hot in the kitchen..."
Isn't "Daytop" an organization for drug addicts ?
I think they were near Times Square I had gotten suckered into a first time blind date in the personals back 1978.
It was an utter disaster the girl was bat-shit scary & crazy never again
This reeks of corruption, waste, fraud. ...and guess who pays in the end... we the taxpayer. Enough is enough, everyone involve with this should be put in jail.
It's pretty obvious this Pan Am shelter is a money pit and the landlord and providers are raking it in. What is it going to take to make people sit up and realize that their tax dollars are providing for everything and in turn the taxpayer gets shafted? People, it's time to start protesting loudly and withhold paying your city taxes.
