If there was ever a post worthy of a thousand crying Michael Jordan memes, this would be it.
Jordan’s steakhouse in New York City is filing a lawsuit against the city because of a “homeless problem.” Apparently, the number of homeless people outside the steakhouse, located in New York City’s Grand Central Terminal, has driven away customers:
“The entryway to the Grand Central Terminal eatery is being overrun by bums, thanks to a long-term construction project on Vanderbilt Avenue that has created a festering enclave of vagrants.”
Glazier claims that business has gotten so bad that the restaurant’s revenue has dropped 24 percent and the MTA, who leases the space to the steakhouse, hasn’t done a thing to solve the problem. The MTA has been working the past year on a project that would waterproof the station.
The “restaurant has become plagued by filth, garbage and urine left by homeless people — yet the MTA has ignored the problem”, the court papers say.
The restaurant is seeking unspecified damages. On one hand, this is a completely natural response by a business, which cares only for money and nothing else. On the other, New York City has admitted it has a homeless problem. Driving them away from a business is small potatoes compared to figuring out where they’re actually going to go.
