As a mental health clinician whose job it was to go into the shelters every day, I don’t fucking blame them. They’re often filthy, staffed by people who DGAF, and dangerous. I’ve had clients assaulted, I’ve had clients’ children assaulted, what little possessions people have are stolen all the time. In my current job I work in a school and I counsel students who live in them, nothing has changed. People need to understand that many homeless do not want these services because they are awful. And they are awful because the plutocrats who run this city would rather throw cash at the police instead of spending it on ensuring that people can have a decent standard of living while they get back on their feet.

Any media which is dependent on ad revenue has a vested interest in making the race appear more competitive than it actually is. Not saying it’s a lock for Lamont by any means, but an 11 point edge in a state with a popular governor doesn’t get views.
