Ah, New York City.

The city that never wants to go to sleep.

The city that sells big apples. Or something like that.

Last we checked in with those apple sellers, they were stashing away illegal immigrants in hundreds of hotels in that state.

But I’m sure they’ve changed their ways.

Let’s see…

Hmm, that doesn’t sound like they’ve changed.

New York Post reports:

The Adams administration has inked a nearly $1 billion no-bid contract with the hotel industry for emergency shelter space — despite boasting that the migrant crisis is tapering off, The Post has learned.

Taxpayers are on the hook for the $929.1 million reupped with the Hotel Association of New York City Foundation as the total city population still includes a whopping 86,000 people, including homeless individuals and asylum seekers.

“These hotel units will be used by social services vendors to house emergency shelter clients who have entered the [Department of Homeless Services] shelter system,” the agency said in a notice posted Wednesday.

The reupped contract took effect in January and runs through June 30, 2026. It was awarded via “negotiated acquisition” – meaning it was not put out for competitive bids. The initial contract was negotiated through the end of 2025, as previously reported by The Post.

The move is a head-scratcher, said Nicole Gelinas, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

“Why do we need to be using so many hotels for day to day homeless management?,” Gelinas said. “This is turning an emergency program into a permanent program and taking a block of hotel rooms off the tourist market while people complain the city’s hotel room costs are so high.”

Gelinas said the city should have made hotels bid against each other instead of treating the hospitality industry “as a monopoly” with a sole source contract.

Under the new contract, it’s up to the Hotel Association as a “fiscal agent” of the program to connect the city with hotels that are willing to set aside rooms to shelter homeless individuals and families in exchange for rental payments.

Now who wants to go with the mayor and see what he’s up to?

All of you? Good. This should be fun.

We’re coming, Adams, we’re coming.

He sure was “getting stuff done”. But for who?

I notice the camera is off when he’s in the meetings.

What’s he doing in there?

Signing deals to give billions of dollars to illegal immigrants?

Isn’t this something DOGE should look into?

In the fictional world, New York City used to have commercials that asked:

“If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, Who you gonna call?”

If there’s something weird and it don’t look good
Who you gonna call?

Illegalbusters!

Yes, that’s the real number.

Feel free to share that meme.
