[/quote] Trump Real Estate. Plaza is listed under "Commercial." https://www.trump.com/ [/quote] The Plaza Hotel is a luxury building. The Park Savoy homeless shelter is near the luxury Plaza Hotel. (one block away) I know what you're thinking, the selection of the shelter may have something to do with Trump's properties being nearby. Trump Tower is also 2 blocks away. [/quote] No...not thinking that. I'm wondering if it has to do with Central Park nearby....just more of "open spaces" for the homeless to roam and hang out. A few years ago they also opened up a building for the homeless. I think it was across from Central Park. West side, around 72nd street. I found this so far... 72nd Street Pantry https://www.coalitionforthehomeless.org/resources/72nd-street-pantry/ August, 2020 Homeless ruining quality of life on Upper West Side, residents say https://abc7ny.com/upper-west-side-homeless-hotels-coronavirus-covid/6367038/ Upper West Side Last week Brewer sent a letter asking the Department of Homeless Services to send more outreach workers to the Upper West Side to handle the increase. She pinpointed nine spots (below) where she says outreach workers should go. https://www.westsiderag.com/2020/08/24/gale-brewer-wants-city-to-address-street-homelessness-particularly-at-9-locations-on-uws 2014 Homeless Sleeping by 72nd Street Subway to be Swept Out in City Crackdown https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20141030/upper-west-side/homeless-sleeping-by-72nd-street-subway-be-swept-out-city-crackdown/ 2020 "... three Upper West Side hotels have been housing the homeless since May, 2020: The Belleclaire, the Park West, and the Belnord. A fourth hotel, the Lucerne on 79th Street, opened on July 27, for a total of around 730 people around the four locations. https://gothamist.com/news/please-get-these-men-out-upper-west-siders-campaign-to-eject-homeless-residents [/quote]
