NYC Halts Relocation Of Homeless Families Living In Midtown Hotel

New York City has just halted the relocation of homeless families living in a Midtown hotel. This comes after abruptly telling them they had to move to make way for a group of homeless men; CBS2's Natalie Duddridge reports.

They should move to park Avenue. And move to all the empty luxury apts that are vacant

It’s crazy how the city can afford to spend millions every night to put homeless ppl in Hotels but as a city worker I’m at risk of being laid off due to budget constraints

[tatedsinner]

You can’t put men in a family shelter but you can put COVID positive elderly back in assisted living centers

Shame on this homeless THERE IS UNDOCUMENTED MOTHERS WITH CHILDREN WORKING EVEN IN THIS PANDEMIC TIME WHILE THE SYSTEM KEEP MAKING LAZY PEOPLE

They should move them into Cuomo and Bliaso house. See how they like it ... since they love socialism.

[BlackFurryNight]

Taking them back to the original shelters. This is incompetence. Quarantine the homeless shelters.

Did you know nearly 20% of New York's hotels are being used to house 13, 000 homeless people and its costing the city more then $2million-a-night.

If u are in a NYC shelter with no job u should get moved to rochester ny or somewhere more affordable NYC is to expensive for someone that has no damn income.

Fredo will take them in, CNN got room in NYC.

They are mad about moving! Wtf? They didn’t belong there in the first place.... bunch of ingrates....

[joebombable]

There has been crime, drugs, solicitation, fights, knives... I walked out and the cops had to stop someone in front of the hotel across from me. The glass to our apt building just got smash. Shit is real.

Get them all settled back in...then throw them out again when the snow is 20" know you want to.

Remind me never to rent a room at hotel Chandler. Who is going to want to stay there? I'm staying away from NY until they get it back together. 😥

Don't act like y'all can't be homeless one day. Because it is easy. And you'd want to have something good to live in when you do. Seems inevitable in NY. And how nice it would be to have something nice even for a so called low life because homelessness=lowlife automatically. And don't assume that these people don't have jobs. Obviously the crippled don't. Yes people take advantage and they ruin it for the rest. Y'all see the ones who take advantage of the system like celebrities and ignore the rest. You don't notice them because they're staying to them selves to avoid trouble. Those people have jobs and some have college to attend that are now online.

These people have been in this hotel for YEARS. How is this possible? Who's paying for it? Unemployment so high, but you're housing homeless in

This country sends so much money to other countries for humanitary aid yet there are still so many people that need help and I think this country should take care of its own before it helps others, we need to take care of our own citizens that live in this country before we help.How is that so difficult to see and to do?? I don’t understand!!!

[jamesjones]

This is what communism looks like folks.

[robm]

Send the homeless guys over to a different borough altogether. Manhattan is the centerpiece of NYC and shouldn't be dragged down with homeless guys like this.

[fcan]

Move all the homeless to Riker's island and don't let them out.

Give the Homeless the Homes of the BLM Members who have been looting as reparations ?
