Wealthy NYC Liberals Are Furious About Having To Live Next To Homeless People
Ask Liberals "How many poor migrants do you have living in your neighborhood?" The typical response would include calling you a racist, and if they were outraged enough they may even label you something that ends in 'phobe.'

Bottom line is you'll never get an answer because everyone in the room knows the answer is "zero."

In New York City, their doofus of a Mayor has now provided Republicans with an answer that these "Do as I say, not as I do" liberals always use name calling to avoid answering.

Upscale New York liberals were enraged when Mayor Bill de Blasio plans to open a homeless shelter in their affluent Manhattan neighborhood came to light.

Dozens of these "How Dare You!" 1% Liberals packed into a community meeting to voice their anger over the decision to move 150 homeless men into the former Park Savoy Hotel.

Via NY1 reports.

The residents are concerned that the move will increase crime and decrease property values in their neighborhood on “billionaires row.”

“How are these poor people, whose only livelihood is in one bag, deal with a $6 coffee and a $15,000 dress on the windows of Fifth Avenue?” asked one resident, a middle-aged man with a foreign accent. “Aren’t we breeding crime by doing this?” he asked, earning applause from the audience.

Some residents have formed a group, the West 58th Street Coalition, to oppose the homeless shelter in their neighborhood, CBS2 reports. CBS2 identified the coalition’s leader as Suzanne Silverstein, a fashion executive who is the president of upscale women’s fashion line Parker NY, according to her Linkedin profile.

“This is a tourist area. Can you imagine you are like next door, you have the best hotels in New York City, you destroy that in order to help 150 people,” said restaurant owner Maria Loi, according to CBS2. The New York Times has described Loi as a “celebrity chef.”

NY1 reports that some residents have hired a public relations expert and a lawyer in their fight to keep homeless people out of their neighborhood. It’s unclear if that group is the same as the West 58th Street Coalition.

One resident suggested that de Blasio is moving the homeless into the wealthy neighborhood to get at President Trump. “I think it’s crazy. I think he just wants to get to Trump,” Leonardo DeVega told CBS2. “His son lives across the street, and Trump lives a block away.”

Manhattan residents overwhelmingly supported Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump in the 2016 election, giving her more than 86 percent of the vote.
