Further, I heard on the radio this AM that displaced NY residents who are staying in NY hotels are gonna get kicked out because of the incoming wave of runners. Already w/o a place to go since they don't have power (or homes for some), they now get displaced again. Race clearly needs to be cancelled.
A good friend of mine predicted this as she ran into a similar problems shortly after 9/11. I would absolutely go fucking bananas if I was NYer and was kicked out of my hotel room because of some self absorbed marathoner. Right now, if you don't need to be in NY, get the fuck out and send a check. NY will recover to its former glory, but it needs more than 1 week.
it may be news to you but not everyone coming to nyc from abroad is a "self absorbed marathoner." what would you suggest someone, who lives in say, italy or france who booked a nonrefundable trip for his/her family, do? just piss away $5,000 to make you feel better? why should someone who lives in a loft in tribeca get to bump someone who booked his or her room a year ago just so said loft dweller has a nice place to camp out while his/her loft doesn't have electricity?
Because that person in Tribeca has a life in NY and someone that has $5,000 to spend on a hobby is likely to recover just fine as well. That runner now has $5,000 teaching moment for his/her children on how to be caring and respectful human being.
you clearly are delusional. anyone living in a loft in tribeca who now is paying $500 a night to stay at a midtown hotel while he/she waits for con ed to turn the electricity on (i know multiple people who fit this profile) doesn't get to displace someone who already booked a room (no matter how much disdain you might have for foreigners). you can have your "teaching moments" on your own time with your kids. who gets access to $500 a night hotel rooms is not anywhere near the top of the priority list in NYC right now even though you would like it to be.
You have demonstrate over and over again how delusional you are by your posts in this thread. Not sure why I even acknowledge them.
For everyone of your self-described "anyone living in a loft in tribeca" there are equal if not more "regular citizens" that are cramped 2-3 families into these hotel rooms as they have possibly have nowhere else to go but shelters if there dwellings are currently uninhabitable.
