Mayor Bill de Blasio has found the solution for the homeless problem in the city, so listen up Governor Newsom. He simply pays them off to get rid of them.
As the NY Post found, the mayor has a program to secretly send them to other states and Puerto Rico with one year’s rent in their pockets.
That’s one way.
“New York City generously shares its homeless crisis with every corner of America,” the NY Post says in jest.
The Big Apple shares its homeless with 373 cities across the nation as part of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s “Special One-Time Assistance Program.” Usually, the receiving city knows nothing about it, the Post reports.
Since the program began in August 2017, it cost $89 million to export 5,074 families, 12,482 individuals from New Jersey to the South Pacific, according to the Department of Homeless Services data.
Families who once lived in city shelters decamped to 32 states and Puerto Rico.
The city paid travel expenses and money for furnishings too!
It does nothing for homelessness according to the report. It is truly a case of kicking the ball. The cities are up in arms and the homeless families are returning anyway. Some are suing for being abandoned.
Multiple outside agencies and organizations have opened investigations into SOTA.
Mayor de Blasio — living up to his reputation — worst mayor ever.
Meanwhile, about those homeless…
An entire yr has passed & @NYCMayor has done nothing except continue to ignore our requests that he build truly affordable housing for homeless NYers. Meanwhile 62K ppl sleep in NYC shelters each night & thousands more on our streets. Do better, Mayor de Blasio. #HouseOurFutureNY pic.twitter.com/5DiHWe18xu

The big cities are pushing people out with the high costs of living. It is wrong to grow up somewhere and then have prices go so high one must move on. This has been building for some time now, with no solutions…poor poor leaders who cannot lead, will blame another.
wow, just wow
How could any man who married such a horrendous wife make a logical decision regarding the lives of others?
That is not an uncommon thing. Many cities are already doing that. They give bus fares and some pocket money for the homeless to move to other cities! Why do you think 50% of the homeless ends up in California?
Because it is warmer at night for sleep?
Isn’t this what socialists do? They spread the wealth. This character is a joke.
