If you are planning a trip to New York City, and you want four star accommodations, you may select from The Waldorf, The Pierre, The Plaza or one of the city’s homeless shelters, according to a story in the New York Post. "People pay $3000 for an apartment here, and I get to live here for free!" said Michal Jablonowski, who moved back to the city from his native Poland three years ago. He stays in a Bowery shelter.
According to the story, residents get free: food, three meals a day and some times four; a room with a microwave and TV; medical care; a cell phone with up to 1000 texts; and laundry service. I really like the laundry service.
Some residents say it’s better than working 9 to 5 because you get more. And, Florida snow birds have discovered it may be better to stay in the city. Florida’s resources are a lot more restrictive. If there was such a place in Texas, I would be there.
There is a nine month limit on staying in a shelter, but it apparently is not strictly enforced. Some family members are going there this summer and I’m going to have them check it out. They will save a lot of money. And, I want to know if there are any fishing spots before I move.
Also, I will have to learn the language.
