It's not. The police aren't doing anything now. Adding more police, cameras, etc are not going to fix the problem. You can't displaced the homeless and be shock that they are taking over the subway (eric adams). The homeless have been telling us that the shelters are not safe. They rather sleep on the streets then a shelter. Obviously, people with mental health issues need treatment. Putting them in jail isn't going to do anything.
In order for subway crime to decrease, homelessness and mental health crisis needs to be fix. The problem is no one wants to pay for it. Our government officials don't want to create programs or put effective systems in place to solve the problem. Until that happens, new yorkers are the one being targeted on the subway.
