Another violent crime in yet another homeless shelter. The old Pan American on Queens Blvd. is constantly the scene of police activity. Further down Queens Blvd. there are numerous shelters, the Crown Motel (where a prostitute murdered a John with fentanyl) The Mets Motel ( where cops found and arrested 2 stick up creeps hiding out while serving a different warrant),The Quality Inn (which saw an infant death and in 2018 an assault of an employee of an auto shop next to the shelter by a resident of the shelter), The Days in (where an infant was found dead July 2018) Close these crime riddled shelters..

Wonder how many homeless shelters there are in DeBlasio’s Brooklyn neighborhood. He is very liberal when it comes to other people, but somehow not when it comes to himself.

Nothing more conservative than making a buck and welfare hotels are all about making owners and politicians money.

Sep. 2, 2025 By Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas

Four years ago, Hurricane Ida tore through our neighborhoods of East Elmhurst, Corona and Jackson Heights, leaving behind devastation we will never forget. We lost neighbors to the floodwaters. Families saw their homes destroyed, their basements wiped out, their lives upended. Immigrant families—so many of them undocumented—were hit the hardest, often excluded from relief altogether. Ida was not just a storm; it was a wake-up call.
