De Blasio to the rich: “stick it up your tuckus”.
/It couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of NYC liberals (is that redundant?) : Appellate Court dismisses suit, clears the way for the Mayor to open a homeless shelter on Billionaires’ Row. 140 winos and crackheads, $50,000 per person, per year.
A homeless shelter is to be created on one of New York City's most expensive streets, after a legal battle to prevent its opening ended in defeat.
A New York state appeals court on Thursday dismissed the concerns voiced by a coalition of residents and businesses from the Manhattan neighborhood by Central Park, nicknamed Billionaire's Row.
Billionaire's Row is not actually one street, or officially defined.
Real estate agents describe it as an area south of Central Park, between 57th Street and 59th Street from north to south, and stretching from 8th Avenue in the west for eight blocks east to 2nd Avenue. Trump Tower is just to the south.
Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York, launched an initiative called Turning the Tide, which aimed to create 90 homeless shelters across the city.
One of the chosen sites was the Park Savoy Hotel, which closed permanently in 2018.
