Hotel Owner Refuses To Evict Evacuees To Honor Marathon Runners' Reservations

NYC Marathon organizers asking local hotels to displace hurricane evacuees for out of town runners. Hotel owner in story is hero; asinine tag for hotels that are actually doing this, and for Bloomberg allowing a marathon right now

What kind of person asks for evacuees to be removed? People that are in need take precedence over people that are in want. It's bad enough that society seems to chug along with the opposite approach on most days, but when an all out catastrophe hits maybe that's a good time to let that rare humanity out for a while.
