Clown in chief otherwise known as "mayor" Adams has had sufficient of hotels charging high rates to house homeless. He's told them to lower their bills or else....
Excerpt:
Officials are also weighing whether it would be more cost effective to just buy up the locations that are used to house migrants, instead of coughing up money to property owners, City Hall sources said.
What? Buy out ? Sounds so double standard with President Trump in court on selling his property ?
If he thinks the hotels are over charging, maybe he can get the state AG to yank their business licenses.
????
If he thinks they are overcharging, he should find cheaper alternatives.
The hotels are offering their services, the city can take it or leave it. Obviously they are going to charge a premium housing migrant/homeless people, otherwise they can keep making money on regular tourists. The hotels are already doing the city a favor. They were never meant to be permanent migrant shelters...
The city council removed AirBnB short term rentals effectively made Hotels/motels pricier again. This is why you don't use regulation to fix a problem that the free markets can do better. Meanwhile short-term rentals are still thriving using other platforms to rent. You can't regulate people's properties, they were doing the city a favor by offering rentals cheaper than hotels and causing hotels to lower than prices and now you're complaining that prices are HIGH.

The hotels are doing themselves a favor lining their pockets with city tax dollars that never should be spent on this nonsense.

EXACTLY what I was going to post but worded much better than I would have.
Its crazy how they essentially banned AirBnB but then turn all these hotels into illegal immigrant shelters. And then charge people EXHORBORANT prices on top of that.
Airbnb has nothing to do with the city blowing tax money to put non citizens in hotels indefinitely.
Liberals like you can’t figure out who really is your enemy.
