Jamaica getting 3 new hotels

From DNA Info:

A Flushing-based developer who recently plunked down $22 million in cash to buy the largest property in Downtown Jamaica, is planning to build three Marriott-brand hotels in the area, he said.

Chris Xu, who built several hotels near LaGuardia Airport and in Chinatown, is also bringing apartments and a supermarket to the neighborhood.

Two of new hotels — Courtyard and Fairfield Inn and Suites — would be located in one building planned on Archer Avenue, near 149th Street, Xu, president of the United Construction & Development Group Corp., said.

The 16-story building would contain more than 330 hotel rooms (Courtyard would feature 224 rooms and Fairfield would have 114), he said.

Xu is also planning to build another hotel — SpringHill Suites — on Queens Boulevard, between Jamaica and Hillside avenues, he said.

That building would be six stories high and would feature 160 rooms, he said.

Guaranteed that these hotels will become homeless shelters in no time. Has anyone walked around that area lately? Talk about a scary and unsafe environment.

These hotels will wind up being homeless shetlers.

You are right. No one builds a homeless shelter so the politicians arrange for them to build a hotel, set up all the background and then orchestrate their conversions into facilities that employees plenty of Democrats either directly, by building and running the place through its ultimate transformation into a shelter, or indirectly by attracting hordes to the needy programs run by Democratic party cadre.

One of the reasons your representative doesn't have time to return your calls or has a flunky tell you to dial 311.

When I walk along Jamaica Ave and Parsons Blvd, I am constantly being asked by tourists and business travelers for a recommendation for a nearby hotel, so now I have an answer for them.

When I walk around Queens I am constantly asked by locals and visitors for recommendation of an honest politician and I have no answer for them.

Does anyone of our electeds honestly think that a family from Sweden would dare get off the train to tour and stay in Jamaica?
I drove through that area this past summer and boy is it filthy, scary, and just a cesspool of seedy people. I wouldn't dare park my car and walk around Sutphin Blvd or Jamaica Av and I can't see any out of towners doing it either!

Please name some recently-built hotels that became shelters so I can use them as examples when making anon 3's point. The ones I know of in Queens were hotels for years and years before they starting housing Democrats exclusively.
