I’m sure the same thing is happening in Boston, Chicago, Denver, and other places where illegals are being sent to
Migrant surge driving hotel prices to record highs in sanctuary city: report
The cost of a hotel room has hit a record high in New York City, in part due to the ongoing migrant crisis, which has squeezed the number of hotel rooms available for tourists.
The New York Times, citing data from CoStar, reported that the average daily rate for a hotel stay in NYC increased to $301.61 in 2023, up 8.5% from $277.92 in 2022.
More recently, in the first three months of 2024, the average stay was $230.79 a night, up from $216.38 in the same period last year.
The price hikes come amid a historic migrant crisis both at the southern border and in the Big Apple, where the city has seen nearly 200,000 migrants arrive since 2022, with tens of thousands remaining in the shelter system.
As part of that, about 135 of the 680 hotels have entered the program, with hotels being paid up to $185 a night, according to the Times. Many of those hotels are in popular parts of the city for tourists, including by the JFK International Airport or the Midtown Manhattan area.
Sanctuary City New York mayor Eric Adams is blaming this on tourism, but, come on, reality suggests it’s because hotel rooms are in shortage, along with the government giving hotels more money per room than those rooms would usually go for. In fairness, hotel room pricing has gone way up post-pandemic. I’ve looked at places in the mountains and Outer Banks and they’ve been ridiculous, even in the offseason. But, there is no doubt all these illegals are driving up hotel prices.

Personally I love it. Just in the five properties that we’ve come to acquire thanks again to the American taxpayer and the American Democrats we have 0 payback loans. In 2023 my little group of five businessmen cleared nearly $4 million each. And that’s general just on rental properties. That does not include the value of the properties themselves. But I wanna thank Elwood and H and others like that for constantly voting these morons into office that hand away taxpayers money to me. I’ve also learned from the experienced Democrat that does our accounting how to turn income into loans so I don’t have to pay taxes. It’s fantastic. Politicians have been doing it for years. I guess that’s why the IRS is never truly reformed.
The only people still voting D must be traitors or retards. I know which Elwood is.
You’re welcome! There will always be grifters like you and Mob Boss Fat Donnie who take advantage of the system.
You’ve made it abundantly clear what kind of “man” you are.
At least Kye didn’t bilk investors out of $50M like you and your fellow grifters there at Galera.
Nor did he pull Rimjob and lie about serving in the military.
Guess that’s the kind of man he is and the kind of “man” you are.

Let’s see, Key volunteered for Vietnam won a couple of metals, I think got shot up and came home after fighting two or three tours. Yes we know precisely what kind of a “man” he is. We also know exactly what kind of a man you are you thief. Stole your investors money and call other people names?
You also denigrate me too and I’m an EMS firefighter. Key fought for our country and I save lives for our neighbors and you look down on us because you are a righteous leftist!
It’s funny how in your eyes men like Key and Trump and me are grifters taking advantage of the system. If we changed our political affiliation to D we will be normal Americans utilizing what’s offered to us and what we paid into with our taxes. But according to you all those illegals taking advantage of all those different programs which they have not contributed to are just wonderful people we’re the bad guys. You really are a brain farted moron.
But of course guys like them are grifters. Sure, they claim to be stealing taxpayer money but they could be fibbing about that, too.
But for a conservative to be boasting of taking taxpayer money like this guy and Trump and not paying taxes seems hypocritical. Doesn’t it? Actual hardworking Americans are paying taxes that you, this other guy and Trump are pocketing. For nothing. How horrible.
Aren’t you getting very well paid by the taxpayers for sitting around now? Couldn’t you do a desk job? I bet you’re even in a union!! What do your wife and kids think?
In general, conservative men are the world’s biggest hypocrites. They cheat on their taxes. Fuck outside of marriage. Accept government handouts. Faux patriotism. Attack the US Capitol to stop an election.
Ouch! Rimjob’s buddy and co-founder.
Heckuva Rimjob.

Pissant (aka Rimjob) keeps smearing a public company and is accusing corporate officers of serious crimes.
How’s that, Rimjob?
Mr Teach seems to have decided to leave out the fact that only 15% of the hotel rooms in NYC are occupied by migrants.
