Residents in Chinatown came together Monday afternoon to say 'enough is enough' when it comes to the proposed shelters and jails in their community
CHINATOWN, Manhattan -- Residents in Chinatown came together Monday afternoon to say"enough is enough" when it comes to the proposed shelters and jails in their community.
"The last affordable housing was built in 1976 and since that time we got a homeless shelter, and then we got another homeless shelter, and then we got another homeless shelter, and then we got another homeless shelter," Jan Lee from Neighbors United Below Canal said."And they want to repeat this over and over again. And then they built another jail. And they built more and more jails.
Residents are worried the concession on shelters will be used as a bargaining chip to keep moving forward on this project. "There's like a stereotype, a stigma about Chinese people," resident Thomas Lo said."We obey the laws, we follow the rules, we don't wanna rock the boat, but you know what? Enough is enough. Enough is enough. We have our fair of shelters, we have more than our fair share of drug clinics and we're gonna have a mega prison in the middle of Chinatown.
