The gloves are on.

https://www.amny.com/politics/de-bla...itys-homeless/

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.

Response: Opinion

Wait a minute.......3.2 billion dollars were spent in New York City on the homeless in the last 5 years .

Double the amount of years prior to 2014.

New York City Mayor Bill requesting an additional $350 million per year on top of what the city already receives for the homeless.


Boy...............how many times do New York Tax payers have to get kicked in the rear before they move out of the way.


I am not a fan of Andy but he's right on this. Bill needs to shut up and count down his dismal days in office.

Bill is a plague to this city worse than Covid...................na na na na....na na na na.....hey hey goodbye..........................

Meh

Homelessness is just a by-product of capitalism

You know, the free market you guys like so much.

Somebody has to lose in order for somebody else to win

Just make your money and don't give to panhandlers.
