NYPD is hiring "Homeless Services Police" and ramping up "enforcement" against the unhoused. Just got this email from NYC HRA.

Security guards at homeless shelters are the enforcement. That’s the problem.

Not to defend these pigs at all, but NYC is probably one of the best cities and how it treats its unhoused population. We have a huge amount of shelters, there’s an enormous amount of public assistance available, free healthcare, and a mandate that no one should be turned away when requesting temporary shelter housing. Especially during the winter.

That being said, it’s obvious that the NYPD and the Adams administration are trying to appease conservatives “for some reason.”

I blame the rollout of ranked choice voting without a comprehensive public education campaign on how it works. Most people voting through the primaries only chose one candidate rather than five of their top choices, and that is how Eric Adams became the Democratic nominee. Kathryn Garcia was the obvious better pick, and she lost out because people didn’t understand how ranked choice voting worked when they first started it during that last election.

So, clearly education is very important, particularly when it comes to how someone is going to cast their vote. Otherwise, horrible mistakes can obviously happen.

Edit: lots of spelling fixes, wow
