It's this kind of thinking that will result in either Dickensian workhouses, concentration camps, or mass euthanasia for the homeless.

Treating all homeless like dirty animals will guarantee that the homelessness crisis will never be solved.

Shelters were never a "good" thing. They are the bare minimum solution created by a society that believes all homeless are idle criminals who deserve nothing and should be made to disappear.

We should provide better conditions for homeless people in the first place instead of adding rules and punishments to the existing awful system.

Many homeless people avoid shelters because they have tight, cramped conditions and force people into close proximity with others who may be unstable or have drug or alcohol problems. Theft can be rampant and shelter rules and curfews don't work for everybody (especially if they're working while homeless).

Almost the same thing happened to me when I was heading north out of Bensonhurst. Probably 16th Ave.

Hold on, Eric Adams somehow convinced the MTA to hire private security from a company founded by an aide of his to stop turnstile jumpers? Where's the NYPD in all of this?

If you have friends who are invested in commercial real estate, then you need your office workers in the office to keep up appearances.

You mean like the activist social media accounts giving parents lists of scary books to take to their school boards and try to have removed from libraries?

>The shelter complex’s opening on Oct. 19 coincided with a drop in the number of Venezuelan nationals entering the U.S. illegally after the Biden administration announced an agreement to expel many of them to Mexico, according to border aid groups. Most migrants who have traveled north on buses in recent months came originally from Venezuela, in part because the government-sponsored rides brought them to cities with large Venezuelan populations.
Biden started using Title 42 - a Trump-era policy used to turn back asylum-seekers on pretext of stopping COVID transmission - to turn back Venezuelan asylum-seekers, after failing to repeal the policy earlier this year. Seems like Dems saw the Abbott bus stunt as being bad for their midterm chances, and so basically adopted the GOP policy on immigration for the time being.
