But its harsh criticism of the city's response to the asylum seeker crisis was just too much for Adams to stomach, especially the part where Hochul's lawyer told the judge the city ignored the state's offer of 16 shelter sites that could house 3,000 people. "The sites that were given to us, some of them were in flood plains, some of them were not suitable to build," Adams said."The worst thing you could do is house migrants in a flood plain area and all of a sudden you have an emergency where you have to move people out of that location."
The mayor insisted the letter didn't slam him, even though it accused him of a number of transgressions, including:Allowing hundreds of migrants to sleep on the street outside The Roosevelt Hotel when beds were available elsewhere"That's a little dishonest in what people looked at. Laws require us to have a certain number of beds open for a particular population -- domestic violence and others. So we're not going to violate the law," Adams said.
