Absurd $1.4B migrant-hotel tab should force pols to scrap 'right to shelter'

Jaw-dropping news that the city will shell out $1.4 billion on local hotels for migrants over three years should set off major alarms.

The public needs to see how every penny of that will be spent and to apply maximum pressure to curb costs — most notably by ending the insane, unsustainable “right to shelter” for every person in the world.

That monstrous $1.4 billion sum is meant to cover migrant rental fees at more than 100 city hotels, and doesn’t even include the cost of city-owned facilities or other sites used to house “asylum seekers.”
