I’m sure there is a lot more available space than the city lets on. You can see residential luxury high-rises where most of lights on every floor are off at night. Nobody is living in them. 10s of empty rent controlled units in each of many buildings where those units stay empty for years.

The city may be struggling to house these migrants, but I’m sure there is a strong incentive to keep normal housing units unavailable so friends of politicians can fill their low demand hotel rooms and supply catering at very favorable rates.

Most people turn their lights off at night?

I believe they’re referring to the evening hours after dark, rather than after midnight.

But it’s New York… Why are you home instead of a bar or restaurant?
