Mamdani's Cruel Homeless Policy: Frozen Corpses and Blighted Neighborhoods

Mamdani's homeless policy in NYC leads to rising crime and health risks for residents.

The Big Apple is about to take on a new name -- Tent City, or Filth City. Or perhaps Lepto City, after leptospirosis, a bacterial infection increasingly found in homeless encampments.
New York's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is barring the New York Police Department from closing down encampments.
Since Mamdani previewed his policy in December, new encampments are emerging in many neighborhoods. The consequences are dire both for vagrants and for the city's viability.
Between Friday, when the city was hit with a bone-chilling winter storm, and Sunday night, eight people were found dead outdoors, suggesting they were homeless. Mamdani conceded that several of the victims were known to the city's shelter system.
As the encampments pop up, neighborhood residents call 311, but the NYPD is now powerless. Even New York's Strongest -- the sanitation workers -- are barred from clearing the encampments. They've got orders to remove garbage and human waste but leave mattresses, clothing, makeshift cardboard huts and other items intact.
In other words, provide maid service, but don't actually clear the dangerous mess.
~Snip~
Even local Democrats are infuriated by Mamdani's unwillingness to clear encampments. Gale Brewer, a City Council member representing the Upper West Side, said, "You cannot have defecating, you cannot have food on the street, you cannot have all these boxes." So far, Mamdani insists you can.
His predecessor, Eric Adams, aggressively removed encampments, saying, "We cannot tolerate these makeshift, unsafe houses on the side of highways, in trees, in front of schools, in parks. This is just not acceptable."
In truth, he's making them victims too, mere ploys in his political calculations. The life expectancy of someone living on the streets is, on average, 27 years lower than that of someone who is not. Some fall victim to crime or disease, but most die from alcohol or drug overdoses, often lying under a cardboard box or on a urine-soaked mattress.
Adams said it best, lamenting that there is nothing compassionate or "'progressive' about leaving people to freeze in makeshift encampments. It ... dehumanizes the very people who need help."



Commentary:
Gotta love Mamdani’s way to get rid of the hobos, just let them turn to popsicles. Imagine if ANY Republican did the same thing the commies would be screaming MURDERER but he its commie Mamdani its all good.
I wonder how many will be found dead in New York's five boroughs Monday after this snow storm is finished?
Please note that Democrats politicians from Albany to NYC didn’t worry about nursing home residents during Covid-19 either.
Yet they profess to be compassionate.
Yo the New Yorkers that voted for Mamdani, Enjoy the warm suck and embrace of compassionate Marxist Collectivism.

Where are the pictures of frozen corpses?



Where's the pictures of the blighted neighborhood's?



Seriously do you think a neighborhood could have become blighted in a month?

 

[The Irish Ram]

So much for the warmth of collectivism...

Meh, 54 people died in NYC of cold related causes during Jan and Feb of 2022.

<~~~~~~~~~~>
Yes! that was for the full year of 2022. Mamdani is just getting started...

Don't jump to conclusions. Freezing to death is not a bad way to go. Once hypothermia sets in there isn't even the sensation of cold.

NYC has a long history of DemoKKKrat mayors who are mass murderers. Andrew Cuomo's 15,000+ kill count is probably the record, but Mamdani still has years to go to catch up, and he probably will.

I've heard that. Plus the bodies will keep longer until the rats can eat them.

Up to 18 now.

New York City extreme cold weather leaves 18 dead, Mamdani says

Homeless shelter capacity has been increased following a period of freezing temperatures in the city.

Quite a comment on the failure of crony capitalism as practiced in the US.
