As an NYC taxpayer, I’ll say that I am glad they’re better off here than in TX, but I wish this weren’t some cunty stunt by Abbott and, rather, a genuinely well-coordinated dealing-with-the-situation.
Oh, and I really hate to give Addams credit for anything, ever, but this was pretty clever (as a political maneuver— just maybe not really helping matters with immigrants that much considering the housing issues).
Perhaps the signals a reversal in policy, or, at least, a reversal in the disaster in how he’s been handling things recently. If he is asking for lead time in immigrant bus arrivals, perhaps he has a plan for provisioning space for them. That, at least, signals much more good news to come on the immigrant housing front.
