Still seething over Governor Andrew Cuomo’s remarks earlier this week that New York City appeared to be “teetering” on disaster, Mayor Bill de Blasio threw the case back at the governor Saturday, urging him to support the city’s efforts to tackle homelessness rather than undermine it through budget cuts.
That statement, and a follow-up remark in which Cuomo referenced high homelessness rates in New York City, struck a chord with de Blasio. The mayor said on March 4 that he felt Cuomo was “disrespectful” to the people of New York City while attempting to deflect from his own problems.
Now, on March 6, de Blasio announced that he sent a lengthy letter to Cuomo essentially calling the governor’s bluff.
He urged the governor to reverse “decades of disinvestment” and provide the proper funding needed to help finally address the ever-growing homelessness crisis in the five boroughs.
Seems like the richest cities in America have the worst homeless problems.
So then to solve the homeless problem just reduce the wealth of the city
