Except they aren't vermin. They are well to do people with money to afford housing. The weather like this clears off the actual vermin (rodents) and the homeless.
Homeless Man Dies in Greenpoint Park Amid Cuts to Local Shelter Funding - Greenpoint - DNAinfo.com New York
There are reports if you Google it about homeless people dying outside in the winter even in places like San Francisco, Georga, Florida, etc.
And as noted, not everything is reported and those who died directly from cold are probably a fraction of the long terms deaths due to exposure. Pneumonia deaths won't be reported by the media, nor will gangrene deaths (due to tissue death because of frostbite).
