There hasn’t been any drop in businesses or tourism due to homeless. If it has its due to remote work and covid. Unfortunately this has become an ‘accepted’ part of the city and society. Any solution that comes for this probably needs federal gov intervention. Because if NYC fixes it, other cities will send their homeless to nyc.

I don’t think anyone’s honoring Columbus with the current street name. In fact, who even likes that road lol, it’s chaos.

My point is, let’s not honor these people with future project names and street names. But the slippery slope is when you open up everything to change because someone did something that’s not good. Every town in America can probably find something to change. Are we going to push to change all that? Those aren’t the issues we need to focus on today.

Human rights, environmental protection, future of our society. That’s what we need to focus on, not changing street names in every town. That shouldn’t be top of yhe list

Fair point, and I admit dont actually know. It’s also several hours from nyc, but that’s a easier relocation for nyc workers than say in Ohio or Missouri. Lots of experienced workers end up moving farther and farther away from nyc itself anyway

It could be for something entirely different like deals cut with the state
