So you blame De Blasio for more bums, but support him in not taking them off the streets?

Not the mayor's fault that the cops don't want to do their jobs.
Bloomberg and Giuliani essentially criminalized being homeless and had them locked up all the time for petty reasons. De Blasio’s administration has reversed these policies, as most sane people don't view homelessness as a crime. Unfortunately, he's done nothing to offset it and they lay around in and about Penn Station like a plague. It's another good intentions zero thought moment brought to us by nyc's best and brightest political minds.
The mayor not supporting the police running roughshod over the homeless is a good thing. Of course more could be done to help them. But people like you would bitch and complain about the cost, and taxes, and inconvenience and million other things the same way you complain about a few tourists.

No, the bums were always around, but hidden. Now they're visible and he hasn't upped the social services required to help them. At least when they were carted off to jail they got a bed and meals.Pocshy2.0 wrote:

Anyway, De Blasio had good intentions when he stopped criminalizing homelessness but like with most things with his administration, not a whole lot of thought went into the "ok, what's the next step?" part. If you're going to stop throwing them in jsil you need to increase spending and outreach for public services so we don't have thousands of people visibly suffering on the streets.
They're actually getting less aid now than they were before. That was my point.

Pocshy and I only communicate on here. He seems much more popular than you.
Honestly, you are the only person marine, lowing, Uzi, Dilbert, Turq, GS, and Flaming Maniac all agreed on not liking.

bum fights is the solution to all problems.
Based on my limited knowledge he's at least taken a step in the right direction. Rarely is a solution so effectual that a problem dissolves during the tenure of a single mayor.Jay wrote:

You should've ended your statement at "limited knowledge".

Isn't removing criminalisation a step towards letting the free market solve the problem?
You like libertarianism and free-market theory - except when it impacts you negatively - then you like big government and social controls.

I'm a libertarian at the national level. I firmly believe that a nation of 320 million people spread across half a continent is ungovernable, and that all power except common defence, and a minimal justice system to settle disagreements between states, should be devolved to the state and local level. This is a local issue.Dilbert_X wrote:

Have you been inside a homeless shelter? They're not safe. There are constant assaults, rapes and thefts and so people avoid them and sleep on the street instead. On top of this we have severely mentally ill people out on the streets because funding for the mental hospitals was slashed and the patients were released.
Don't tell me shit takes time. His priority was the dubious benefits of universal pre-k and he's diverted billions in funding to have them built expeditiously. Trust me, I know, my office has designed dozens of them in the past year.

Either you're a libertarian or you're not, you can't pick and choose who gets liberty and who doesn't.
Either the theory works or it doesn't. If it doesn't work at the micro level it won't work at the macro level and vice versa.

Jay isn't a libertarian. He is just selectively selfish. Have you ever heard him advocate for something that didn't implicitly benefit him?
No, this is simple stuff, you're simply a self-interested hypocrite.Jay wrote:

Have you ever volunteered in a soup kitchen? I have. I've also built houses with Habitat for Humanity. I know it's not the cool thing to do on this forum, but I care.
