What we did was identify 20 standalone gyms. This is not every gym in every school, 20 standalone gyms as one of the potential locations as we have exhausted our hotels in other locations. That is what we are assessing because we have to be prepared as the migrants continue to flow into our city.
Now we want to be clear on that plan. We have 20 standalone gymnasiums throughout the city. They stand alone, they're not a part of the school building. They are on the list of potential locations that we may have to use.
I've been talking about this for a little over a year now, that New York City is being overwhelmed by the financial and number burden associated with the national problem that has been placed on New Yorker's laps.
When you speak with New Yorkers, it's among the top three - public safety, housing, and dealing with the asylum seekers - crises that we're facing. We must get a housing bill passed now.
I'm really calling on all of us to take notice that this is going to impact every city service that we deliver to the people of this city. And it's just wrong. New York City should not be carrying a burden of a national problem.
