This displacement of the family residents is part of the domino effect of the closure of the men's shelter at the Lucern Hotel on West 79th Street, where white upper west side residents engaged a high-powered lawyer who threatened to bring a lawsuit against the city and resulted the closing of the men's shelter.This is an act of 'NIMBY', 'not-in-my-back-yard.'The Barrons believe that everyone is entitled to decent, affordable housing and feel strongly that these families should be put into permanent housing. However, to disperse these families throughout the city, especially during a pandemic, and just prior to the opening of the schools, will destabilize, increase the trauma, and add to the crises for these families.The Barrons have contacted Mayor de Blasio and he responded that he is weighing their concerns.WHEN: Tuesday, September 15, 2020 at 12 NoonWHERE: Flatlands Avenue Family Residence, 10875 Avenue D (corner of Linden Blvd), Brooklyn NYWHY: BARRONS DEMAND FAMILIES REMAIN IN PLACE ...
