Reply to NYC official says city is spending an estimated $10M a day on housing, feeding migrants by NYY657545
Do they want to rent out my apartment for 400 a night? I'll give the city a discount of $350 a night. I'll gladly go live somewhere else if the city is willing to pay me 12k+ a month instead of a hotel.

I think those are 2 different city departments working off different budgets.

Doesn’t stop the hardcore progs from doing that on crime threads.
It’s almost like everyone realizes that the migrant situation is an actual crisis that can’t be dismissed as right-wing hysteria.

Yes I was being sarcastic. You know their living conditions are bad and the meals are shit. Gotta maximize those profits from government funds

Is that not what happens if they're not granted asylum?

Are these hotel owners planning to replace all the mattresses and bedding, and deep clean all the carpets and upholstery? Otherwise, I don't know how many tourists would visit NYC instead of another destination.
Despite the enormous monetary, logistical, and staffing burden on the city's government and ultimately the taxpayers, there is no appreciation for these provided resources from the beneficiaries.
At a recent city council meeting, Julie Won and Gale Brewer were pressing the HERRC staff on the quality of the food. Breakfast with milk and fresh fruit, prepared sandwiches for lunch and a hot dinner that is calorically and nutritionally sufficient is very reasonable. Religious and medical adjustments are accomodated.
Demands for meals that are culturally familiar, when there are people from multiple regions of the world is not a reasonable requirement. Specific meal Demands for chicken and rice is not reasonable.
My takeaway from the article:
Yet despite the city’s pleas for help from the Biden and Hochul administrations, it has gotten a drop in the bucket when it comes to financial help — even as the Big Apple barrels toward a projected $4.2 billion two-year total bill to handle the influx.

Reply to comment by WickhamAkimbo in New York Will Pay Millions to Protesters Violently Corralled by Police by mowotlarx
Haha, it’s the good old “my anecdotal experience is definitely more relevant and true than literally multiple investigations finding widespread abuse of power during the BLM protests of 2020.” You don’t want actual sources. You just want to pretend you’re right.
The HRW source was one source only. How about the gigantic payout/settlement? Pretty sure they wouldn’t settle a case they were confident about winning. I also posted a link to dozens of videos of cops bearing people up, sometimes the person being assaulted is merely standing there doing nothing before.
Police brutality apologists aren’t my thing.

They need to hire more judges and make their asylum decisions in days rather than months. If granted asylum, they could start working and contributing to society, and if denied, they’d be deported. Either way, it’d help everybody, as nobody benefits from being in this limbo situation.
Also, aren’t there lower cost of living areas to house people who aren’t able to work? It doesn’t benefit them being close commuting distance to office buildings with high-paying white-collar jobs, and as a result, the market value is super-high.

Would you try to put out a 4 alarm fire with a cup of water? This sub is a cesspool and some threads are a waste of time to even open cause you will be -100 within 30 minutes of posting a comment.

And if you audited that $10 mill I'll bet you'll find a good percentage of that money is being cashed by various consultants and "non profits" that aren't actually achieving anything and if you removed them from the equation, the migrants wouldn't be affected at all.

No, people waiting their asylum hearings are in legal limbo. People in jail or out on bail aren’t convicted criminals; they’re alleged criminals.

Nyc is one of the safest cities in the world. The lower quality of life comes from the high levels of homelessness and mentally ill wandering the streets.

It's either. More common in the UK to call it "gardening leave" than in the US.

The harsh reality is this is going to affect New Yorkers in the long run because if they don’t send them back. A policy will be needed that will affect low wage New Yorkers already struggling to get and maybe even threaten their job . Who knows .

A single tragic anecdote trumps measurable data. You win.

Garden leave is a paid non-compete. There's no legal contract called "Garden Leave" and the non-compete wouldn't be enforceable in most states without pay.
