John Tarleton, editor-in-chief of The Indypendent, interviews Shams DaBaron, one of the men who has been staying at the hotel Lucerne since earlier this summer when the City moved about 300 unhoused men into the hotel at 76th and Broadway on the affluent Upper West Side as a way to keep homeless people safe during the pandemic. Now the City is caught up in a legal battle as it tries to again move the men, who with good reason don't want to leave.
