> New Yorkers witnessed more homelessness

First line:

> New Yorkers filed a record number of 311 requests related to unsheltered homelessness ... during Mayor Eric Adams' first year in office, which was marked with high-profile policies aimed at reducing homelessness.

Those are not the same and probably explains why more New Yorkers felt a reason to call.

People actually think their calls might do something is the actual news.

I remember coming back from JFK there was an accident and the cops weren’t doing anything and it created over a mile of backed up stopped traffic to the point people started running out of gas. I called 311 and said “hey there are people literally getting stuck on this highway and none of the cops are directing traffic. We need this cleared or it’s gonna be a mess” ten minutes later boom. Tow truck. Could have been coincidence but still
