How can we put 59,000+ homeless to good use in a city that continues to become greater and greater? I've mentioned they will keep NY diverse and divided vs the other majority of incomers to this city (foreign billionaires and yuppies or as the 2015 yuppie refers to themselves, young working professionals). Anyone have any useful ideas that I can jot down and write to the mayor and or city council? Please and thank you New York. Merry Chri$tmas and keep luxury condo developers in your prayers.
In many parts of Europe those "on the dole" are forced to do community service in lieu of benefit payments. Sounds like a perfectly good idea to me.
Workfare was an excellent thing for NYC but apparently de Boob has watered down or simply removed it as a requirement for benefits.
All they have to do is act in their rational self interest. If it's clear you cannot prosper in a place you might search for a place where you can.
But these people don't have the same motivation and drive as we do. If their basic needs are met to some extent, they will stay here. It is no different than feeding animals around your neighborhood. Anyone who says it is, is allowing emotions to cloud their reason.

I'm reading Ayn Rand and she would say the same thing.
But a good number of those people won't have their needs met. Obama and the Republican Congress agreed to certain 10% annual budget cuts. Meanwhile gentrification is going so deep that even Jamaica, Queens and ENY are now pushed as the next neighborhoods. A whole lot of ghetto is being displaced as we type.
