NYC Destroys Park… Moves in Homeless People

NYC has plans to replace a community garden with an affordable housing complex, with 40% of the units going to homeless individuals. Although most new yorkers want to help the homeless, there are always protests and lawsuits whenever the city tries to follow through on that desire... and this time, its happening in one of New York's most expensive neighborhoods.

Exactly. Remember when the Fla governor bussed illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard? They called out the national guard to remove them.

Demolishing green space when you have tons of condemned and unused buildings is ridiculous.

[idoitforchina]

Rather than tearing down gardens or parks, the city should focus on getting all the vacant units back on the market. As you have mentioned in previous videos, landlords aren’t renting out or renovating properties that could be used as affordable housing so they sit vacant. They don’t need new builds, they need to maximize the existing buildings that already exist.

NY will NEVER have ENOUGH housing, with tens of thousands unskilled, arriving constantly, and looking for a handout...

50 affordable homes for seniors. What a joke.

[Sammy-ilqf]

Seniors without a roof over their head? How about you put them up in hotels like the illegal immigrants!
Destroying a park is madness.

Wife was born in the Bronx. I was born in Queens. We both left NY as kids. We found each other back in NYC in 2001... for work. Living on Rector Pl, Battery Park literally staring in the hole for 3 years. "Normal" NY was bad enough. Now it's a dystopian hellscape . Life is so much better EVERYWHERE else.

I used to watch you to dream about NYC apartments, now you have become the best source for what is happening regarding unfortunate changes happening there. I get NYC news from you that is better than the network news. You are on the inside track, Thank you.

It's all about being "green" until it is time to bulldoze a garden or park, then suddenly the green has Ben Franklin on it.

[coobay]

The same people who 3 to 4 years ago had no problem with an open border. Now that the chickens have come to their home to rost their flipping out. Total hypocrites.

[fastfreddy]

Had zero plans to get an apartment in NYC but watched many of your videos.
Now I appreciate you even more as you have addressed these other issues. Good reporting young man. 🇺🇸

Canadian here. So NYC mayors can allow a hotel to rake in millions for illegals and asylum seekers for a few months yet that same duo cannot fathom contracting those hotels to house the vulnerable American citizens who are homeless up to a year until they get back on their feet without having to pay rent? Those people in those “asylum seeker hotels” didn’t have to pay rent before they got evicted.
Sheesh, I thought Toronto and Vancouver had it bad.

Masses of people in a concrete cell, huddled, forever on drugs, forever mentally ill, mixed together and always demanding more and more resources. What a bright future for New York.

As someone who has worked maintenance and contracted out repairs on roughly 800 units of section 8 housing I can say this! If the average resident with section 8 housing vouchers actually took care of the place they are renting, and didn't destroy or wreck the place. Maybe more people would accept section 8 housing vouchers. Because the only ones that can afford to keep up with it are getting grants on top of the vouchers to make up for all the expense that comes with these dirty and destructive people! I am not saying they are all bad but roughly 89% of apartments I used to turn over were trainwrecks!!!

"We need to destroy this garden so we can make like 100 houses available."
Wouldn't you have more housing available if you didn't bring in TENS OF THOUSANDS of people not even from America? Some even illegally? Into the city? Not even the outlying areas?
"No comment."

Absolute insanity.

As being a resident of a border state for over 50 years, I got sick of people in states farther away always spewing how people speaking about the negative aspects of illegal immigration were the bad people. That was until the last few years when the border and the immigrants were moved to states farther north. Suddenly it became an issue when those people had to experience and deal with the flood coming into their neighborhoods and only after a couple of years whet the borders states had been dealing with for decades. It's not just the increase in crime, but the demand on the local resources like money, housing, food, medical, and schools just to name a few. The demand is far greater than what can be provided.

It's stunning to me how gullible the legal citizens of New York City are.

[MarketingVideography]

Keep borders open and youll never have enough housing. Politicians too dumb to figure that out. You have families of 4 living in a one bdrm.

[danthemansmail]

Building homeless shelters in the most exclusive neighborhoods makes eminent sense to me. The exploiters should see the world they created every time they step out their front door.

When I left Zoo York over 20 yrs ago both myself & husband worked 2 jobs lived in a 3 room apt for 9 years to have enough cash to leave. Also had no kids so it was easier than a family say of 4 to leave. But being consistent in our goals we did it...and well worth it..never looked back & no regrets.
