Eric Adams, Swaggerman with no plan.

New York City officials (Eric Adams) have discussed handing tents to newly arrived migrants and housing them in encampments in parks, according to a report.
The city has already erected large tents to shelter asylum seekers but this new proposal would be more like a campsite, sources told The Wall Street Journal.
The report comes after Mayor Eric Adams yesterday said 'everything is on the table' when asked whether his plans to shelter migrants would extend to Manhattan's iconic Central Park.
Adams has said the city has run out of hotel rooms and indoor sites to house the 65,000 migrants that remain in its care after 120,000 arrived in the last 18 months.
It comes as a poll published this week found that a majority of New Yorkers agreed with Adams' own words earlier this year that the migrant crisis will 'destroy the city.'
Adams again issued a grave warning during a press conference on Tuesday, saying he is looking for large outdoor spaces to house migrants and people are going to start seeing 'the visual signs of this crisis in our city.'
He continued: 'It’s not "if" people will be sleeping on the streets, it’s when. We are at full capacity. We have to sort of localize it as much as possible. We have to make sure that people have some type of restroom facilities, some type of shower network.'

Make no mistake, these Democrats are buying time until they can get enough taxpayer subsidized housing built. Since there’s no room in the city for new housing, it will be built outside New York City, including New Jersey and Connecticut.
Make NYC just like SF. Great idea, morons.
That’s a hair hair-brained idea as winter is coming on!!
Sounds like Gov Abbott needs to send more buses.
Maybe hizzonor can keep the buses and convert them into motor homes.
(They’ll be warmer than tents in the dead of NYC’s winter)
he’s more interested in being a celebrity than being the mayor....
Does parts of the Bronx still look like Dresden?
If so send them there..
Liberals ruin everything.
I heard this same option being discussed as an option in Denver as well.
Liberals let bad things happen .
Stores have people coming in and just walking out with mass amounts of merchandise, liberals set policies that allow this. Liberals introduce wolves to ranching areas
Liberals think it’s ok to let coyotes run all over urban areas.
Liberals let criminals run all over schools.
Liberals teach that a 50 year man can become a 13 year old girl.
Maybe they can set them up around the bridges and tunnels to collect tolls.
Hopefully the new Speaker will resist the temptation to print even more neo-Confederate money to fund the spending spree.
It’s easy to laugh at these leftist morons, but sadly most “conservatives” are fully on board with cheap labor express / open borders. They just want the invasion handled in a more orderly fashion.
Keep up the pressure!
bingo .
How much subsidized housing could be built by razing Central Park? I.E., how many Vanrini Greens could be erected on that footprint of land?
Comments BUMP!
Cabrini Greens
