“Da Homeless Hero” says he lives in the Lucerne Hotel—a hotel in New York’s Upper West Side turned into an emergency shelter for over 200 homeless men.
But following a wave of complaints from the neighborhood about lewd behavior and drug use in public, reports say Mayor Bill de Blasio is expected to move them out of the Lucerne and into another hotel in downtown Manhattan.
Da Homeless Hero, alongside a lawmaker and advocates, urged de Blasio to keep them there and to ignore complaints from the wealthy.
