Hey libs, stop your whining. liberal states seem to have enough cash to piss it away on bums. You guys are going to hate this article, it's essentially how libs do things that wind up torturing other libs.

'This will bankrupt the city': Nearly 20% of New York's hotels are being used to house 13,000 homeless people for more than $2 million-a-night

• 139 of New York City's 700 hotels are being used by the city to house homeless people who they removed from shelters to avoid COVID-19 outbreaks
• The Lucerne, Belnord and Belleclaire on the Upper West Side and the Rixby, SpringHill Suites, DoubleTree, Best Western and Hampton Inn in the Garment District are among them
• The city is refusing to release a full list of the hotels and they won't give details on how much it is costing
• A source close to the initiative previously said it was costing $175 per person, per night
• With 13,000 homeless people currently being looked after, the cost is more than $2million per night
• Residents on the Upper West Side are fleeing because, they say, it is bringing more crime to the area

That's over $9000 for every man, woman, and child in the US and we'll have to pay it back some day. Seems pretty irresponsible to me.

 

I've said it before but it just seems so obvious that throwing out one bill only with 1200 payout would be so simple.

Why is this so dam hard?

 

Random? How are people retiring to warming and lower tax states seen as being "random"?

 

Because there is always migration among states. People move for many reasons beyond retirement and climate. Some for work, to be closer to family, closer to medical care or whatever. What I am saying is I don't discount your comment but just want to see data that backs it up.

 

You make a good point. New Jersey and other states like it have bigger problems because of local policies and programs. Also, their tax rates and tax legislation is different from a lot of more conservative states. One state should not have to bail out another state without being willing to negotiate what it taxes, how much it taxes, and how many welfare programs and services it gives its citizens.
