Богатым почему-то не нравятся бездомные
Residents and neighbors of a Midtown area known as "Billionaire's Row" packed an auditorium at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice Thursday night to blast a city plan to build a homeless shelter in the neighborhood.
Many locals called the proposed homeless shelter for 150 adult men inappropriate for the neighborhood, bemoaned the lack of community outreach on behalf of the city Department of Homeless Services and expressed concerns over safety and the cost of the shelter.
The proposed shelter is part of Mayor Bill de Blasio's "Turning the Tide" plan to tackle homelessness in New York City, city officials said Thursday. That plan calls for the creation 90 new homeless shelters in various neighborhoods around the city, even wealthy areas like "Billionaire's Row." By building shelters in every part of the city, the homeless will not be forced to move out of their home boroughs and can be closer to their support systems or jobs while they seek permanent housing, city officials said.
