Posted on September 10, 2020 by Larry Thomas in The New York Daily News The New York Daily News, By Larry Thomas The pandemic has been hard for everyone, but the past few months have been brutal for those of us who are homeless. I am a 59-year-old Black man currently living at the Lucerne Hotel on West 79th St. on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I’ve been moved around several times since the pandemic started, and now I’ve heard we’ll soon be moved yet again because some neighbors of the hotel don’t want us here.
