Money talks and Patels walks while prostitution remains from Bellerose to Glen Oaks

A group of businessmen with last name, Patels took over the well known ice cream location, Frozen Cup in 2009 and replaced with a hotel despite protests. The main owner of hotel, Harshad Patel allowed the hotel to house homeless for guaranteed income with proper paper works in place. His co-partner is Mitesh Patel, the former owner of House of Dipali as well as other locals from the Gujarat Samaj in Fresh Meadows, an organization with 10,000 mainly Asian Indian families. These Patels partners owns several hotels and motels around Queens with specialty to cater as city's homeless shelters. Both Harshad and Mitesh are local residents of Floral Park and Little Neck. Management at 7-Eleven on Jericho Turnpike and 251st and Union Turnpike and Little Neck Parkways complained of women soliciting men for sweet talks without asking for money inside the stores. Some are often seen standing outside while others hang around inside Glen Oaks Shopping Center. Others are seen hanging around at 249th Street and Union Turnpike making catcalls. Police stated as long as there is no reported incidents, there is nothing to do. Also, its no crime for women to talk to anyone since they know soliciting for sex in return for money is illegal, thus the sweet talks. The Floral Park motel also has women from shelters walking around sweet talking to men. Upon agreement between women and johns, they head to the motel and do their services. Several men were arrested for having sex inside vehicles after they refused to go inside the motel. The latest arrest occurred on Friday night inside Glen Oaks Shopping Center when a john assumed its a private property. Another twist of Patels tale is they owns several apartment units in Glen Oaks Village coop approved by the board despite knowing their business deals. All the apartments are purchased as rentals with separate incomes of those involved. According to the mayor's office, the homeless population has soared in the past few years and housing them via public private partnership is a priority.
