Make up your mind, Eric! NYC Mayor Adams walks back decision not to house migrants at Manhattan's swanky Row hotel - and now plans to transform the property into 'humanitarian relief center' for up to 200 families
- Adams made the announcement Wednesday, revealing the hotel would open its doors to migrants - after closing them in August after a promise to take in 600
- His announcement came just a day after he told citizens in the crime-ridden city to expect migrant facilities to come to 'every community'
- It also comes as the city struggles to think of ways to shelter the thousands of asylum seekers being bussed from red states such as Texas and Arizona
- Since the summer, nearly 20,000 asylum seekers - predominantly from Latin America - have been carted into the city, with almost 2,000 this weekend alone
- The sudden influx has put the city's shelter system to its limit, Adams, 62, warned last week, and could cost taxpayers $1 billion this year alone
