Furious Harlem residents expressed strong opposition to a proposal for converting a vacant luxury residential building into an emergency shelter for migrants. The controversy escalated after New York Mayor Eric Adams was confronted by the community, leading to a humiliating u-turn of the decision. The initial plan, criticized for prioritizing asylum seekers over local homeless citizens, sparked widespread protests after bunk-beds were spotted being discreetly delivered to The WA condominium off 130th Street. Mayor Adams, facing backlash, ultimately withdrew the proposal, marking a significant victory for the Harlem community. The situation highlighted the tension between the need for migrant shelters and the community's demand to prioritize local residents.
