We have armorys all over new york with bathrooms showers and heat! Yet the best we can do is a tent. Guess comic con takes precedence for convention centers too.

Well, a bit more than just put "people indoors":

"The centers will provide a connection to a full list of services and support asylum seekers' needs by immediately offering shelter, food, medical care, casework services, among other options at an expertly designed and climate-controlled, safe space."

So there's also the infrastructure and worker transportation to be considered

Weird how there are literally no other places on the Upper West Side, Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Williamsburg, or Battery Park city that can possibly provide food an shelter for a few hundred people. They just don't have "infrastructure" like a tent on Randall's Island does.

As with all their luxury beliefs, the virtue signaling millionaires prefer to dump the results of their voting onto poor people. This way they can still pretend to care on Instagram and awards shows but don't have to actually deal with the consequences of their votes.

Luxury. Beliefs.

That’s exactly my point and I got downvoted. This shit smells like NIMBY pushed another demographic onto an island.

Yeah most people don’t want to live on a neighborhood overrun by homeless shelters

wtf does that have to do with putting people outside in tents instead of indoors in an already 'expertly designed' building.
