Cheers babes… yes you is right renting is enslavement, enslaving another in the United States of America is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, therefore 3rd party property "ownership" is unconstitutional, as it’s only purpose is to enslave citizens, a crime, and now we know why Owner Occupied Property ONLY is guaranteed by our constitution!!!

It’s because this is a homeless industrial complex and what you are suggesting is an actual solution. I’m not sure if you’re out here in LA but the City has no interest in actually solving the homeless crisis, they are just giving cash to corrupt nonprofits and corporate developers to build overpriced housing at a rate that isn’t even matching the increase in homeless each year.

Completely agree! Ship them upstate and pay half as much for a hotel room there. No reason why taxpayers should be paying top dollar to house the homeless/mentally ill in premium areas. I do feel bad for some of the people that are really down on their luck and there can be another conversation about how to help those but most of the people in these hotels are mentally ill and/or addicted to drugs – they’re not getting out of the system so the system needs to make it cheaper for the taxpayers as they’re the stewards of our money.

It used to be a great site and for us on Curbed LA had a very solid following for years. Then they went full SJW and the pandemic hit so there ad revenue declined and now we are left with this.

Providing data without really understanding what you’re saying. The average is 2.02 which means there are many households with more than than number, and the average isn’t really a good indicator because there may be a disproportionate number of units with 1 person which would skew the average down. The median would have been a better indicator because we would then be able to determine what percentage of households have more than 2 people.

You could turn Riker’s Island into a centralized homeless rehabilitation center, though that would imply that Rikers will ever be closed (lol).

There needs to be a measured inpatient and voluntary shelter system in place. The shelters should be for people who are just truly down on their luck, can manage themselves in society and just need a place to stay. Inpatient facilities should be for those who are pissing on the streets, yelling obscenities at people passing by and need mental health support.

I also think we all need to take a step back in our assessment of the homeless problem and realize that not everyone will be redeemable. It is a sad truth, and needs a management strategy that doesn’t rely on the "catch and release" concept currently utilized.

"There’s just an insatiable demand for affordable housing," said Mortiz. There’s also an insatiable demand for free stuff.

"Many buildings are at capacity, there’s long waitlists. There’s definitely a barrier to entry." She is talking about projects, I guess, because most free-market housing doesn’t keep waitlists.

"The city, for its part, is also working to bring much-needed infrastructure and affordable housing to Edgemere while mitigating flood risk" So maybe it’s just not the best place to build more housing.

NY is an expensive city to live in comfortably. You need a pretty good job. There is no human right to live in a particular location.

(can’t wait to hear about "renting is slavery" again.)

This is as stupid as putting up homeless shelters inexpensive coastal areas like Venice California. None of these homeless drug addicts are from either of these areas and it makes ZERO sense to put shelters in the middle of high rent districts

There are THOUSANDS of other LOW COST places throughout the USA we can have the shelters and they don’t need to be in the most expensive real estate in the country

The whole point of placing violent homeless men in the Lucerne was to destabilize the Upper West Side by making the area undesirable thus lowering rents and condo/co-op prices. The same goes for shelters in the rest of the city. The deBlasio plan is to undermine as many middle-class neighborhoods in the city as possible.

I’m glad that the city is moving the homeless out of the Lucerne. This shows that a neighborhood can fight back. This will force deBlasio to do the same for unwanted shelters in the other 4 boroughs.

I hope so. deBlasio’s ‘affordable housing’ program is just a nice way of saying low-income housing, which destroys neighborhoods. In a few years the market rate tenants will flee these buildings as they fill up with the homeless, welfare families and section-8 families.
