I asked Mark Garzon about his op-ed piece:
“I’m working on affordable housing and how de Blasio is creating homeless shelters within hotels-that’s obviously not working,” said Mark.
“I want to talk about how that’s wrong and they need to work on affordable housing.”
Garzon has written about the potential homeless shelter in Maspeth, Queens. He doesn’t believe housing the homeless in hotel rooms is a plausible solution and believes there are many problems within shelters.
“It costs more money to house the homeless in hotel rooms. The money they are using can be used for getting the homeless an apartment of their own,” he said.
