Reply to comment by ofxemp in Adams warns migrant flood will impact NYC’s safety and ‘basic services’ by NYY657545
Other states do not guarantee free housing to migrants. NYS does, but that's by choice.
I don't see why federal funds should go to towards paying for elective services.

Right to shelter is a blessing in disguise for New York. It allows the government to get a pass and tear down encampments. NY housing 95% of the homeless every night is the reason why New York doesn’t look like SF, LA, Denver, Phoenix, Portland, etc., even with the largest homeless population.
