A way overused analogy, but liberals are truly like a plague of locusts.
They decimate everything of socioeconomic value and worth wherever they become dominant, and when everything eventually turns to decay and ruin, they quickly migrate to another vibrant, productive region to victimize.
Yes well they killed Detroit and now somehow liberals think their strategies will work in New York.
beggars are likely considered as employed in some cities
In the entire country beggars are likely to be counted as "given up looking for full time work" which for purposes of the Unemployment numbers counts as NOT UNEMPLOYED which in plain English means EMPLOYED.
Am I the only Native NYCer on here that can't remember NYC ever being without homeless people?
They appear to be increasing these days. Where I live, for the first time ever I saw a homeless sleeping at the corner of the building a few days ago. And I passed by 2-3 homeless lying on the ground just a few blocks apart. Never before.

It would stand to reason that more homeless people would be the visible result of policies from at least several years ago.
Even if so, what has De Blasio been doing to solve the problem? I wonder if many who voted for him had expected suh a scene 20 months into his term?

To me it looks the same as it did 30 years ago.

That's the fear...that it's going back to the 1970's and 1980's.
We should be so lucky.
And clean up Times Square while we're at it. Bring back the XXX shows and the hookers, and drive these tourists back to Peoria. Take back our streets!!
