100%, here in Canada it's the same crapshow. They've invited everyone & their dog from everywhere & anywhere to come here & they get priority. In meantime a bunch of mentally ill ppl are wandering the streets & causing disturbances all over this small town. It's insanity.
We have illegal immigrants staying in luxury hotels getting thousands of dollars a month in handouts. And United states citizens dying in the cold with nothing.
Wow! You really watch too much Fox News And the only reason I'm responding to you is so you don't get a chance to spread your incorrect information. The individuals have the right not to seek shelter or services even though they're mentally ill or addicted to substances. And all those immigrants that were in hotels have melted into the community and are now gainfully employed. By the way, happy holidays!
No they’re not they’re sleeping on the trains I work in a migrant shelter and they left the shelter when trump got elected I’ve literally run into clients sleeping on the subway not all people who are homeless have mental illness believe it or not it’s a CHOICE they chose not to enter the shelter system or have left the system
I volunteered at a homeless shelter and we often had empty beds because our guests weren't allowed to drink alcohol, do non prescription drugs or smoke indoors. It was up to the individual to decide which was their preference. We volunteers always treated the guests with respect.
Many homeless people have psychological problems that prevent them from seeking or accepting "help." Furthermore, shelters can be dangerous. Many of these people have been assaulted at some time and cannot trust others. There's a tendency for conflict in shelters because individuals with different needs are jammed up together.
I worked at one. Had this chick who was like 7 months pregnant. We would routinely find her sprawled out in the grass outside high as shit. OD'd one time. We offered her help all the time but she chose to stay outside because she couldn't bring drugs inside. We also had a flyer on our corkboard looking for volunteers to assist with drug addicted babies. Tragic.
In LTC the residents were not allowed to do drugs, smoke or drink alcohol (to excess). The smokers were given a covered area outside. In fact, homeless people would come onto our private to use it to smoke too. Why isn't the homeless shelter providing something similar?
Thank you for addressing this issue. It's challenging to justify providing housing to non-U.S. citizens when so many Americans lack a warm place to sleep or call home. This perspective isn't rooted in hate toward non-citizens or any specific group, but rather in a sense of fairness. For example, if I were to visit another country, I wouldn't expect to receive free housing or financial support; I'd assume their priority would be caring for their own citizens, which I respect. As a nation, we should strive to be compassionate and supportive, but that doesn't mean we should be taken advantage of or allow entitlement to override fairness and resource allocation.
This is all political theatre. There are a finite number of psychiatric beds and services available in the city, these are already stressed. Further mental hygiene law is onerous, cumbersome, and lacks provision for involuntary care as an outpatient. Current laws regarding outpatient treatment, AOT = assisted OP treatment, relies entirely on the patient voluntarily engaging. So patients get stabilized in the hospital, released into the community, get sick again and wind up back in the hospital to do it all over again, at huge expense in terms not only of hospitalization but legal fees, and extended periods of time in the hospital to accommodate the legal process. This makes the psychiatric services a revolving door and the only people benefiting are lawyers, not patients, not even service providers. So when the politicos say: oh we'll pick them up and take them to the hospital under a new bill granting police the right to do that, well they already have the right to do that, and they do just that, all the time. The only thing that would help the real problem, and this will be unpopular with the so-called advocates and with the population themselves, is to limit the right of a patients to self determine when it comes to their healthcare. Psychiatrically ill people are a special case, in that in the vast majority of severely ill people, they lack decision making capacity because they don't understand the ramifications of their healthcare decisions. Ultimately, everyone bears the weight of the decisions mentally ill people make, financially, in terms of quality of life, and in terms of safety. We need better and more sophisticated laws because these are not simple problems.
As someone who spent 8 months in a New York City shelter before I found permanent housing 2 years ago I can tell you the shelters are DANGEROUS!! That’s why people don’t go! Lot of fighting, assault, stabbing and even O.D deaths. The staff is sometimes worse to deal with than the residents. Luckily the want you to find housing Quik. But yeah.. It’s Gladiator School. No matter what your age. Make the shelter safe and people will go. Hire more staff because these workers have too many caseloads. And have 3rd party oversight and a resident grievance committee. Last but not least.. Stop putting severely mentally unbalanced, violent dangerous mentally ill prople in shelters!!.. They belong in hospitals! Note: The shelter is also infested with heavy open drug use as well as gang activity. The shelter also allows emotional support animals, most of the time they are Pit Bulls which are more often used as a weapon or intimidation tool than emotional support . I woke up one morning to find two of my dormates fighting and the one with the pit bull attack the guy its owner was fighting with, Crazy! I’ll have spent 2 years in prison and I can tell you with 100% certainty the shelter is far more dangerous than the Penitentiary. Shelter workers and security turn a blind eye to all this which creates an unsafe environment and results in days, weeks and months of round the clock Chaos. Luckily I was working 7 days a week so I was only there to sleep. However a vast major have nothing to occupy their time and that creates tension and fights. I personally was attacked by 2 residents at the same time for asking them to lower their radio so I could sleep, luckily it was a pushing match, nobody got hurt and we were all reassigned different dorms.
When you become homeless you think family and friends are going to help you. I finally met a kind Jewish man that helped me. I have a good relationship with my sister but her husband is a problem.
@@BrianG-x4u besides my mother, my own family never offered even to spend the night! And they knew I was living in my car before I went to the shelter..To this day I find it Bizarre.
How can anybody even BE in NYC? I'm in Illinois and would be terrified to visit that city. Yet I see all these women walking around the subway by themselves in this video, like they don't have a care in the world. How can they not be afraid?? I just don't get it.
Increase penalty for not paying fare. In Florida we have security that checks for train tickets and if someone is found on the train without a ticket they are arrested on the spot. Move pay stalls closer to the entrance to decrease or even eliminate available real estate to hang out for free. Hire a security company to enforce subway rules and you only need 1 police officer on duty per station just to give arrest authority. Works great everywhere else in the country, NYC is just corrupt as hell.
People need to understand that it might not feel good to admit, but a good portion of our homeless will stay homeless no matter how much money we spend. Similar to how someone who wants to change needs to make the decision themselves. You can't force a homeless person to not be on the street they have to want help.
I am an Army veteran with a service dog, had a fire in my building, was homeless they sent me to a. Shelter on 28th &2nd Ave they had a fire in the shelter, stood out in the cold and when firemen left, the security were so nasty and disrespectful when they saw I had to process paperwork ( was treated with respect because I didn't look homeless) I showed them the paperwork the VA on 23rd & 2nd. and they told me to go back in the cold to the back of the line. I left.never to return, VA has outsourced their homeless veterans program and send us to dumps. No hotels for homeless veterans or citizens.
There is no money in it for them. Adamas is banking off of the illegals coming in and so are the Hotels around NYC. Like vultures they are, Adams and Hochel that is.
SADLY IT IS NOT NYC Taking care of the illegal immigrants. It is New York state taxpayers that is paying for this homeless crisis be at citizens or illegal aliens. 👽.
You're not referring to mentally disabled people that should 'ethically speaking,' be housed in proper environments; You're referring to the million able bodied Americans simply down on their luck! Don't allow the left to continue gaslighting everyone!
huh? 90% of America's homeless are mentally ill drug addicts who have no interest or ability to hold a job. The homeless that do want to work are actually doing just that - working on getting back into the workforce.
Most of them aren't qualified to work. A lot are on drugs or have mental illness, or both. The Haitian migrants might not be able to drive well, but at least they show up for work. Plus, since they're in a special status, they're exempted from wage and work safety laws.
EXACTLY, we could start a program like we did in the depression with the CCC camps. One is expected to work and learn a skill and in return, they learn a skill that can keep them employed.
Some beg some are lna making 35 a hour still homeless working sorry to break it to you don't matter if dont got good credit don't matter how much you make
I was going to comment on Tokyo and their subways too. I've never been there but have watched a youtuber that traveled there. It's shocking how clean, organized and void of homeless it is compared to here. In other words, it's normal and safe. Don't they shut down over night?
I visited Japan this summer and we saw 3 homeless people in total. And they themselves had suitcases and took off their shoes when they sat on their matress.
I have seen several shelters in my area. I only stayed at 1, and that's because people that stay there are violent and they steal. Those who run these shelters are typically people that were once in a shelter, and they actually do not care at all. Anyone who says there's places for the homeless to go have never been to one of these shelters. There's a reason why, for 10 months, I slept on the streets. And it is absolutely not because I enjoyed it, it was a living hell.
I paid taxes for about 29 years. Never have I asked for a handout, I was laid off one day and then told to leave my apartment 2 Days later. I asked my State reps office for help, Massachusetts. They told me to go try another state. I told them to go to hell, and that's when I started sleeping outside. I'm pulling myself out of this without a handout or help from anyone from the state.

I cried when I heard this. They should do to this guy what he did to her. If this doesn’t bring attention to the immigration and mental health issues I don’t know what will.
Who told her to sleep on the train in NYC with a blanket like she lives there and she did nothing to put her fire out she wanted to die I don’t feel bad at all she just standing there like nothing 😂
My experience in NYC subway is that it was dirty, delapated, dingy, depressing and disgusting. Urine smell, homeless stinking to the high heavens, and filth made me want escape asap. I had the complete opposite experience in the Seoul subway system. It was bright, clean, shops everywhere, enjoyable to the point you didn't want or need to leave. NYC needs a moral, spiritual, cultural revival.
NYC is the only subway system open 24/7/365 and has a flat fare no matter how long your trip. It's also very easy to fare evade if you really want to. There are also many unused tunnels hidden underground. Those factors attract homeless people to live in there
Well, since CNN, MSNBC, and all those legacy liars have decided to use their platforms exclusively for brainwashing the public, real news had to spring from somewhere. Fortunately, not everyone is a brainwashed NPC.
Yep. Many NGOs depend on the continuation of the problem for government grants and donations. As a quid pro quo the NGOs campaign and mobilise voters on behalf of patron politicians.
They consider "unrealized gains" a loss on their records and use the tax base to bail them out. Its trhetoric like this thats bullshit and a logical fallacy.

The Big Apple's core has for many decades been eaten by worms. The billionaire corporations and politicians have managed it into poverty/austerity.

The American dream is truly a nightmare in disguise, haunting your every waking moments. The UNITED STATES, home of the Slave, land of the Fee, infiltrated by foreigners chasing the lie that has been told about success and untold riches; when truly it is a wasteland. There will be no recovery. Prove me wrong, Please, do it! Prove me wrong. Im sorry, but the only solution is warfare, desolation, destruction.
They should take every one of those homeless people and put them in hotels, give them a cash card with at least $1200 and free medical just like they did for the millions of Illegal immigrants that have entered our country..
Um I work for NY Medicaid and if you're NOT a citizen you can only get emergency Medicaid not for regular doctor visits prescriptions vision or dental and they cannot get snap!!!
Thank you for all you've done via these videos over the past years acting as a documentarian and social historian of the Rise and Fall of the New York Empire. Merry 'Christmukkah' to you and your family and a Happy New Year.
The mentally ill and addicted homeless in New York City is beyond heartbreaking I've seen it firsthand. And they have never done anything for them but the illegals came in and they got the red carpet rolled out for them! This is so screwed up I can't even fathom the lack of humanity!
In Canada, the government ordered the destruction of studies showing that legalization of drugs without actual help and reintegration of the homeless into the community is extremely harmful. At this point it seems likely that some in the government don’t want these people to get better - it’s another racket.
Give me a break. These are drunks and addicts. There are plenty of resources available for ‘homeless’ people who follow the shelters’ rules. These vagrants are the ones who refuse to follow ANY rules, and instead want to grift off the taxpayer
Then every homeless person in the country is going to come to nyc for a free hotel. People won’t be scared to lose their job because they’re going to live in a free hotel. People aren’t going to want to work and get out their situation because they live in a free hotel.
@ashasun6620 Build cheap housing... it'd be better than what's going on now. Mental health services also, but I know some of them will refuse help anyway. Addressing and regulating housing prices so people can get and stay housed.
@@ashasun6620 there used to be mental health facilities before the federal government decided to stop funding them. It is time to admit that the experiment failed and bring back the mental institutions.
The subway system looks like the inside of a mental institution. When New York closed their mental health hospital, the patients were left to their own devices. And here we are.
When Big Pharma found the answer to mental illness i.e. Haldol that was the beginning of putting the mentally ill on the streets. Corporate America sucks
A persons right to self determination doesn't include the right to make everyone else unsafe by committing crimes, wasting themselves on drugs and alcohol in high volume foot traffic in public places, especially enclosed public places, while they then inflict themselves on you.
We in this country should be ashamed that there are homeless people, veterans, sleeping on the street. Yet we have migrants living in luxury hotels, free food, free medical care, fancy homes given to them to park their Fanny's in. No American Veteran should be living on the street. No American should be living on the street. Time for us to get it right.🇺🇲 AMERICA FIRST !!!!
I agree and disagree. I’m almost certain that the majority of homeless folks now are not veterans just normal people/civilian’s who was born into hardship and got addicted to drugs and crime etc. I do agree that our veterans should be prioritized first and our own civilians and not migrants.
I come from a 3rd world poor country, and over there we have plenty of poor homeless people, but none are even allowed to enter the stations/metro system. We have a system in place where the entrance itself is designed in such a manner with active guards and a ticket checker in place. So, it's simple it's not rocket science to fix the problem of removing the homeless from entering the stations in the first place. Hell, with ticket checkers and guards at the entrance checkpoint itself, removes the problem of fare beaters as well.
You idiots blame migrants instead of the ruling class which is hoarding wealth and causing a homeless crisis. We have more than enough resources to care for migrants and eradicate homelessness.
This the only dude I watch about everyday shit in my city as soon as he drops videos. The way Cash talks about things is super refreshing. He doesn’t have an agenda he’s just brining us the facts and opinions of every day folk.
I've seen homeless living in the subways as far back as the 1960s. It just seems to have grown over the past few decades. All that time and still no solution.
I remember in the 70s reading a true story about a guy in the 1950s whose life consisted of riding the subway 24/hr day. He used the restrooms (which no longer exist) to clean up.
Calling a dangerous mentally ill man who has seriously assaulted at least one person a 'street performer' is dishonest. These people need to be made a ward of the court and treated accordingly.
and the bleeding hearts will say that they just need medical care and treatment but here is the reality..they wont take their meds and if they need to be followed up by a nurse or social worker they have long disapeared ..
it must be so traumatizing in the mental facilities and shelters that the government want to provide for them..that they'd rather freeze in the winter outside/in the subways. Heartbreaking.
Speaking as someone who was homeless after a DV attack: Homelessness is a condition, not an identity. The fact that we have long-term homeless folks in America speaks to our scrambled priorities not to these men and women.
In my case it speaks to me being sick of paying extortionate rents for the privilege of making someone else rich. Im in the desert by myself far from all this current day bullshit.
Its a multi faced issue. Some people are homeless by choice some aren’t. By choice is what i mean for those who chose to live in drugs vs get help. Alot of families try to help them with addiction but they refuse it. Its hard to stop but it still is a choice to continue its abuse and wasteful spending of drugs. Those that arent there by choice have truly been let down by the government and its infrastructure. I met a homeless man once helping a shelter and he couldn’t work or get the appropriate healthcare after getting a L1 L2 vertebrae injury while on the job and cant work anymore so he was let off because he couldn’t make rent
@ some people are. Never said all people. Some homeless people ultimately choose to be homeless when given the options to not abuse drugs. For example in Texas you cant be high or on drugs to be admitted into a shelter. Many of them continue to use the money they get for food and then for drugs that consistently deny them access. Its a hard addiction to curb and im not gonna sugar coat it. But ultimately it started as a choice and ends as a choice
I agree!!! It appears that the Mayor of NY doesn't have a handle on the situation of illegals breaking the law and committing heinous crimes. He needs to step down and let someone take care of this pronto. The lady didn't deserve to die like this and the officer who didn't help needs to resign. How cold-bloodied to sit there and watch her burn. He doesn't deserve to be on this planet he is pure evil. May this lady rest in peace and rest in Jesus' arms. In the wake of some of the tragedies that have happened here in the US recently, I was reflecting on my habit. I'm not sure where it came from. Whenever someone passes away I find great solace in praying for them.
THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE GOVONOR. SHE IS A LAID BACK BS GOVONOR. THE VICTIMS ARE NOW THE CRIMINALS. THE COURTS ARE LETTING ALL OF THEM OUT. THE HOMELESS PROBLEM WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WHEN THE MIGRANTS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE GOV.TENTS PUT UP. FOR THEM THERE IS NOW ONLY A 30 DAY STAY. WHERE WILL THEY GO. I CANT WAIT TILL TRUMP GETS INTO OFFICE SO THAT OUR VETS, & OTHERS WHO ARE OUT OF THEIR HOMES BECAUSE OF THE HIGH RENTS THEY CANT PAY EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE WORKING.. THIS IS REALLY A HOT MESS.
Those saying homeless should live in subways won't change until they become a victim. They probably don't ride the subways to understand the threat to women and children. 😡😡😡
@@w2classSociety don't care about men that's why she ain't mention us. And she probably thinks most the people who are homeless are men when it also includes those same women and children she fake cares about. This is America!

It is not a crime to be homeless but is a crime to invade places where the people use for everyday needs. then whatever the reason for being homeless, nobody to watch for them. The city should take care and help, take control, because there goes the taxpayer's money.
She just got the job at the end of November. Crime is not going to disappear overnight; especially with the district attorneys in place in NYC. She is starting to clean up in-house. It's a good start. We will see what hapens over the next few months.
I am a new Yorker who rides the subway for over 30 years..this is the WORST State I ever seen it in and this is referring to 90s that were very dangerous. The issue here is that 99% of the homeless people now have mental issues that do not onlynmake them safe, but they can't ask them if they want help...ANYONE homeless should be given the resources to get housed or they can be arrested. This can't be a choice for them..but enforced
I grew up in Bay Ridge Brooklyn in the 90s. Ended up going into foster care in 96 and being taken out of the city. What was it like in the 90s from an adult perspective, and when did it change? I remember the parks being full of drunk homeless people when I went to the playground. many people jumping the turnstiles in the subways and the overall filth. I remember seeing needles on the ground when I was 3 and having no idea what they were. I went back as an adult in 2018 and it was all cleaned up. Way different then I remembered it in the 90s.
@@PEARL712scott Only 10% of New Yorkers work from home. The almost half empty office buildings (56%), is due to lack of tenants, not remote workers. Update yourself with facts, instead of imagining things.
The problem is they must be institutionalized, they cannot live unassisted. And being institutionalized, they cannot get drugs... and most of them are addicts. They just need to be moved to a homeless zone where there is food, drugs, and buildings for sleep that are staffed. Far from any city. No reproducing allowed.
Once people became homeless, it is almost impossible to rebuild their life again without outside help. No human should sleep on ground. Also, subway is not shelters.
9:44 - It may be a public space, but I pay to ride and have a reasonable expectation for safety, hygienic conditions, and no violations upon my own right to peace & my own pursuit of happiness. Let the advocates and officials open their own doors to this behavior if they believe it requires protection.
Absolutely, that's what taxes are supposed to be used for. This is why I am for them being abolished, they aren't being used properly for their intended purposes.
They've forgotten all about the average Americans simple rights, to be safe on the streets. They only care that others have the right to degenerate the fabric of society.
I worked at a shelter for a while. A lot of people would get out of prison and end up there shortly after. Jailhouse behavior would end up coming with them. Stealing mattresses from others to double stack them. Sneaking drugs in and getting bent in the bathroom. Aggressive behavior trying to be the biggest, etc. You can go in and keep to yourself, but eventually, someone will steal your shit while you're sleeping or something.
Well then these people need to be in jail. Rather pay for them to be j. Jail and not a threat to innocent people. They don’t cooperate follow rules they can rest and relax in prison.
Yep, I was in a homeless shelter and there are dangerous people that stay in these places. I didn't stay long after being there for a while, I found a better way.
One issue is that there are homeless who do not want a home. They want money and benefits but don't want to change their situation because then they would have responsibilities.
Municipalities and shelters receive significant federal funding, creating financial incentives tied to homelessness. Visible homelessness may exacerbate social and economic divisions, while institutions profit from the persistence of this crisis.
Hey so I’m gonna hopefully help clear up some issues about this exact problem. My wife and I lost the one job we had between us and we ran out of money. I had already been trying to get hired for two years by that point, and by the time she lost her job we had so little left because rent takes everything, that we couldn’t afford to pay the rent for very long, so we had to go live on the street. Besides the mentally ill people who are incoherent and incapable of understanding and communicating, there’s two very strange factors at play with people “who help the homeless”. When we were approached by people who worked for nonprofit groups, all of them told us “Oh good thing you didn’t go to the city, because if you did we can’t help you.” However, they almost never had anything to help us with anyway- things would ALWAYS have to be “later” or next time. This kept us in a state where if we wanted to get help, we had to reject the city, but we weren’t being helped, we were just promised it. The second thing is that the city’s “help” is unhelpful anyway. Today it was 13° with 11 MPH winds. If you were in the subway to escape the below freezing temperatures, you’ll be told by those homeless outreach people that you can sit in a heated bus until 5 in the morning and then they kick you out. There’s no point to doing that when you can just stay in the subway. Eventually we gave up and went to the city shelters because we had enough of the nonprofit people teasing help (for months) but never giving it. Guess what? The city found us ineligible for shelter even though they couldn’t find anywhere else for us to go. Despite our ineligibility, we were given two weeks to stay in a shelter before we’d have to leave. Neither of us smoke, have a drinking problem or violent tendencies, just people who were trapped in a terrible financial situation- yet we had to walk on eggshells to avoid being kicked out early. The “help” for the homeless isn’t really help at all, and both the city and nonprofit organizations share that blame. The city trying to get laws passed to forcibly remove people from the subway is INSANE. They’re not going to help them anyway- just dump them back out on the street.
@@karynlein1543 Thank you for the kind words! Just to set the record straight, as of relatively recently we're no longer stuck outside, so our situation has already improved a lot since then
I have a GREAT idea! How about having the activists who thinks approaching these people to offer help is HARASSMENT, MAKE them open up their homes and SUPPORT these people FINANCIALLY, and EMOTIONALLY! They can FEED and HOUSE them and PAY for their mental health needs!😃👏🏽
These homeless people should not be allowed to sleep in the subway system or airports. Just make sure people that dont pay get arrested. it doesnt matter if its $2 they can probably lower the price of tickets to $1 if they actually make sure everyone pays.

"A danger to themselves or a danger to others"... There is another category of 'mental illness'... Individuals who, through no fault of their own, have legitimate reasons to be paranoid about potential threats others pose to themselves... A disturbing set of circumstances indeed 😕 It's one of the other reasons some people are detained in psychiatric facilities
You get what you vote for. Panhandling is basically illegal where I live. There are tons of homeless in the next county over, but none in our county. It's just not worth trying to panhandle here. The county sheriff will pick you up, detain you for several hours for processing, and then drive you out of the county. You lose a whole day of begging and you're left somewhere you don't want to be.
In Southeast Asia if you aren’t a passenger going from point a to point b on the subway you will not be allowed to enter. And their subway system is safe and spotless
The question is why the hell is Tisch the police commissioner? She has no background in law enforcement, and in fact her last job was in sanitation. This should be investigated!
This highlights systemic issues with homelessness: shelters exist but are often unsafe, and many homeless individuals struggle with addiction or mental health conditions. The closure of long-term mental health facilities exacerbates the problem. The core issue lies in the lack of government investment in mental health rehabilitation, leaving the public to face the consequences in hygiene, safety, and quality of life, while some activists focus on rights without addressing root causes.
Just to bounce off your comment, we really do need compulsory mental health facilities for many of these individuals. People are so up in arms about that but really we need go back to the asylum style without the human atrocities some of them had. We threw the baby out with the bathwater.
Also there's groups who profits millions off keeping people homeless with minimum handouts while employees making over 200k a year and constantly give themselves raises.
Japan is a different world. So naturally, there's enormous pressure on Japan to open its doors to massive third-world immigration so it can become just like the US and western Europe.

Activists screech about leaving the mentally ill and unhoused alone and allowed to be in public spaces like the subway, but then they get angry when one of those people has a psychotic episode and citizens are forced to step in. That’s how we got Jordan Neely. Daniel Penny did nothing wrong.
@@MomeGnome He was mentally ill. He had schizophrenia. But as you said, he should have been taken care of regardless of the schizophrenia or not due to his record. The city has trained us to be quiet instead of defend ourselves but with Penny case and other cases (Jordan Williams), officials are understanding that we are not taking this crap anymore.
They should have been prioritizing getting the Americans there looked after first, before illegals. Completely backwards, only when your own countrymen are housed & received the help they need should you look to bringing more ppl in from other places. Absolutely crippling to society.
It wasn't left to rot for 30 years. It took twenty years of Republican mayor's (Giuliani and Bloomber) to turn it around and made it better. But just 4 years of Democrat mayor DiBlasio with a cop hating city council turned it backward. Covid made things a lot worse. But your point is well taken. It is bad.
They consider "unrealized gains" a loss on their records and use the tax base to bail them out. Its trhetoric like this thats bullshit and a logical fallacy. Its all a lie and and eminence front to make New York look like its a beautiful metropolitan growth in this country; instead of a rotting memory. The Big Apple's core has for many decades been eaten by worms. The billionaire corporations and politicians have managed it into poverty/austerity. They are all doing just fine but have left you in waste, among the mediocre achievers and mentally ill. She has become the great whore, and everyone has had their way with her. The American dream is truly a nightmare in disguise, haunting your every waking moments. The UNITED STATES, home of the Slave, land of the Fee, infiltrated by foreigners chasing the lie that has been told about success and untold riches; when truly it is a wasteland. There will be no recovery. Prove me wrong, Please, do it! Prove me wrong. Im sorry, but the only solution is warfare, desolation, destruction.
we should stop giving money to other countries and take care of our people first
100%, here in Canada it's the same crapshow. They've invited everyone & their dog from everywhere & anywhere to come here & they get priority. In meantime a bunch of mentally ill ppl are wandering the streets & causing disturbances all over this small town. It's insanity.
"Our people" need to take care of themselves, dummy. These are ADULTS, not toddlers.
Especially israil,.not limit helping,.What is it?Shame
Right!!
On planes they always sat out your own mask on b4 helping others… we need to help Americans first
The New York Transit Shelter System is being allowed on purpose .
We have illegal immigrants staying in luxury hotels getting thousands of dollars a month in handouts. And United states citizens dying in the cold with nothing.
THIS IS WHY I VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE AMERICANS SHOULD ALWAYS COME FIRST NOT ILLEGALS 😡
Same all over Europe,The uk for one is shocking gimmegrants staying in luxury hotels but our people out sleeping in the streets 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Wow! You really watch too much Fox News
And the only reason I'm responding to you is so you don't get a chance to spread your incorrect information. The individuals have the right not to seek shelter or services even though they're mentally ill or addicted to substances. And all those immigrants that were in hotels have melted into the community and are now gainfully employed. By the way, happy holidays!

No they’re not they’re sleeping on the trains I work in a migrant shelter and they left the shelter when trump got elected I’ve literally run into clients sleeping on the subway not all people who are homeless have mental illness believe it or not it’s a CHOICE they chose not to enter the shelter system or have left the system
NY State Governor Hochul, if you think the NYC subway is SO successful and safe, ride it from one end to the other WITHOUT YOUR BODYGUARDS!!!

There's a reason she originally got into office without being elected when Cuomo had to resign over the lockdown.

The smell is the most repulsive thing you could imagine. I feel like I need to wash out my lungs every time I leave the subway.
What does it take for city officials to focus on people within the city rather than people outside the country?

They don't even care about the immigrants...they care about THEIR OWN bottom line and staying in power.
5 starvhotel for illegal immigrants. Take one of those hotels and set it up for the homeless. America first
Exactly 💯 and only for the ones who actually want to help themselves, not just a free ride.
Most American homeless people won't last in those Hotels, they won't follow the rules and eventually later get kicked out
@@josiem1671 so the rest will still be in the subway
As a democrat, This is the exact reason i voted for Donald J Trump. I hate the policies of Biden's administration
@@seydoup5437 Weather or not that's true the illegals aren't obeying any rules (as they're in the country illegally) yet they're allowed to stay.
I volunteered at a homeless shelter and we often had empty beds because our guests weren't allowed to drink alcohol, do non prescription drugs or smoke indoors. It was up to the individual to decide which was their preference. We volunteers always treated the guests with respect.
Many homeless people have psychological problems that prevent them from seeking or accepting "help."
Furthermore, shelters can be dangerous. Many of these people have been assaulted at some time and cannot trust others. There's a tendency for conflict in shelters because individuals with different needs are jammed up together.
I worked at one. Had this chick who was like 7 months pregnant. We would routinely find her sprawled out in the grass outside high as shit. OD'd one time. We offered her help all the time but she chose to stay outside because she couldn't bring drugs inside.
We also had a flyer on our corkboard looking for volunteers to assist with drug addicted babies. Tragic.
Good on you, where was the shelter?
Must be one of the well funded shelters cause there are others that dangerous to even step foot in.
In LTC the residents were not allowed to do drugs, smoke or drink alcohol (to excess). The smokers were given a covered area outside. In fact, homeless people would come onto our private to use it to smoke too. Why isn't the homeless shelter providing something similar?
Thank you for addressing this issue. It's challenging to justify providing housing to non-U.S. citizens when so many Americans lack a warm place to sleep or call home. This perspective isn't rooted in hate toward non-citizens or any specific group, but rather in a sense of fairness. For example, if I were to visit another country, I wouldn't expect to receive free housing or financial support; I'd assume their priority would be caring for their own citizens, which I respect. As a nation, we should strive to be compassionate and supportive, but that doesn't mean we should be taken advantage of or allow entitlement to override fairness and resource allocation.
A woman was burned alive in that subway. Passengers, paying passengers have a right to ride safely and to traverse the stations in safety.
This is all political theatre. There are a finite number of psychiatric beds and services available in the city, these are already stressed. Further mental hygiene law is onerous, cumbersome, and lacks provision for involuntary care as an outpatient. Current laws regarding outpatient treatment, AOT = assisted OP treatment, relies entirely on the patient voluntarily engaging. So patients get stabilized in the hospital, released into the community, get sick again and wind up back in the hospital to do it all over again, at huge expense in terms not only of hospitalization but legal fees, and extended periods of time in the hospital to accommodate the legal process. This makes the psychiatric services a revolving door and the only people benefiting are lawyers, not patients, not even service providers. So when the politicos say: oh we'll pick them up and take them to the hospital under a new bill granting police the right to do that, well they already have the right to do that, and they do just that, all the time. The only thing that would help the real problem, and this will be unpopular with the so-called advocates and with the population themselves, is to limit the right of a patients to self determine when it comes to their healthcare. Psychiatrically ill people are a special case, in that in the vast majority of severely ill people, they lack decision making capacity because they don't understand the ramifications of their healthcare decisions. Ultimately, everyone bears the weight of the decisions mentally ill people make, financially, in terms of quality of life, and in terms of safety. We need better and more sophisticated laws because these are not simple problems.
As someone who spent 8 months in a New York City shelter before I found permanent housing 2 years ago I can tell you the shelters are DANGEROUS!! That’s why people don’t go! Lot of fighting, assault, stabbing and even O.D deaths. The staff is sometimes worse to deal with than the residents. Luckily the want you to find housing Quik. But yeah.. It’s Gladiator School. No matter what your age. Make the shelter safe and people will go. Hire more staff because these workers have too many caseloads. And have 3rd party oversight and a resident grievance committee. Last but not least.. Stop putting severely mentally unbalanced, violent dangerous mentally ill prople in shelters!!.. They belong in hospitals!
Note:
The shelter is also infested with heavy open drug use as well as gang activity. The shelter also allows emotional support animals, most of the time they are Pit Bulls which are more often used as a weapon or intimidation tool than emotional support . I woke up one morning to find two of my dormates fighting and the one with the pit bull attack the guy its owner was fighting with, Crazy! I’ll have spent 2 years in prison and I can tell you with 100% certainty the shelter is far more dangerous than the Penitentiary.
Shelter workers and security turn a blind eye to all this which creates an unsafe environment and results in days, weeks and months of round the clock Chaos. Luckily I was working 7 days a week so I was only there to sleep. However a vast major have nothing to occupy their time and that creates tension and fights. I personally was attacked by 2 residents at the same time for asking them to lower their radio so I could sleep, luckily it was a pushing match, nobody got hurt and we were all reassigned different dorms.
When you become homeless you think family and friends are going to help you. I finally met a kind Jewish man that helped me. I have a good relationship with my sister but her husband is a problem.
@@BrianG-x4u besides my mother, my own family never offered even to spend the night! And they knew I was living in my car before I went to the shelter..To this day I find it Bizarre.
Some of them do belong in mental hospitals. Not on the streets.
How can anybody even BE in NYC? I'm in Illinois and would be terrified to visit that city. Yet I see all these women walking around the subway by themselves in this video, like they don't have a care in the world. How can they not be afraid?? I just don't get it.
Increase penalty for not paying fare. In Florida we have security that checks for train tickets and if someone is found on the train without a ticket they are arrested on the spot. Move pay stalls closer to the entrance to decrease or even eliminate available real estate to hang out for free. Hire a security company to enforce subway rules and you only need 1 police officer on duty per station just to give arrest authority. Works great everywhere else in the country, NYC is just corrupt as hell.
Cash Jordan, Your videos are outstanding. Highly informative!!!

People need to understand that it might not feel good to admit, but a good portion of our homeless will stay homeless no matter how much money we spend. Similar to how someone who wants to change needs to make the decision themselves. You can't force a homeless person to not be on the street they have to want help.
I am an Army veteran with a service dog, had a fire in my building, was homeless they sent me to a.
Shelter on 28th &2nd Ave they had a fire in the shelter, stood out in the cold and when firemen left, the security were so nasty and disrespectful when they saw I had to process paperwork ( was treated with respect because I didn't look homeless) I showed them the paperwork the VA on 23rd & 2nd. and they told me to go back in the cold to the back of the line. I left.never to return, VA has outsourced their homeless veterans program and send us to dumps. No hotels for homeless veterans or citizens.
So sorry this is happening to vets----- something definitely has to happen to change this. Thank you for your service, sir. You are in my prayers. 🙏❤️
Disgraceful governing!
hoping you are safe and warm 🙏🏼
If you had stayed in the army, you'd have eventually come out with a pension & Healthcare plan.
Its ONLY about collecting government checks, not providing vets the acceptable services in return that we have earned and, have a right to.
NYC should be taking care of their homeless instead of illegal immigrants!
There is no money in it for them. Adamas is banking off of the illegals coming in and so are the Hotels around NYC. Like vultures they are, Adams and Hochel that is.
A lot of the homeless are illegal immigrants receiving help.
SADLY IT IS NOT NYC Taking care of the illegal immigrants. It is New York state taxpayers that is paying for this homeless crisis be at citizens or illegal aliens. 👽.
Mayor Adams and crew didn't get enough briberies in 2024 to take care of legal citizens. From Mexico and southern 3 world countries south of Mexico.
It’s okay.. they voted for this
Put America's homeless population back to work before you import a foreign workforce.
You're not referring to mentally disabled people that should 'ethically speaking,' be housed in proper environments; You're referring to the million able bodied Americans simply down on their luck! Don't allow the left to continue gaslighting everyone!
huh? 90% of America's homeless are mentally ill drug addicts who have no interest or ability to hold a job. The homeless that do want to work are actually doing just that - working on getting back into the workforce.
Most of them aren't qualified to work. A lot are on drugs or have mental illness, or both.
The Haitian migrants might not be able to drive well, but at least they show up for work. Plus, since they're in a special status, they're exempted from wage and work safety laws.
EXACTLY, we could start a program like we did in the depression with the CCC camps. One is expected to work and learn a skill and in return, they learn a skill that can keep them employed.
Some beg some are lna making 35 a hour still homeless working sorry to break it to you don't matter if dont got good credit don't matter how much you make

It is the culture.

I was going to comment on Tokyo and their subways too. I've never been there but have watched a youtuber that traveled there. It's shocking how clean, organized and void of homeless it is compared to here. In other words, it's normal and safe. Don't they shut down over night?
@@Susan-id5xj That stat is for the businesses in the Subway not for the city.
I visited Japan this summer and we saw 3 homeless people in total. And they themselves had suitcases and took off their shoes when they sat on their matress.
I have seen several shelters in my area. I only stayed at 1, and that's because people that stay there are violent and they steal. Those who run these shelters are typically people that were once in a shelter, and they actually do not care at all. Anyone who says there's places for the homeless to go have never been to one of these shelters.
There's a reason why, for 10 months, I slept on the streets. And it is absolutely not because I enjoyed it, it was a living hell.
I paid taxes for about 29 years. Never have I asked for a handout, I was laid off one day and then told to leave my apartment 2 Days later. I asked my State reps office for help, Massachusetts. They told me to go try another state. I told them to go to hell, and that's when I started sleeping outside. I'm pulling myself out of this without a handout or help from anyone from the state.

I had the complete opposite experience in the Seoul subway system. It was bright, clean, shops everywhere, enjoyable to the point you didn't want or need to leave.

@@timmytube12, the D.C. subway is much newer than the NYC one., nor does it accommodate the numbers NYC does daily.
NYC is the only subway system open 24/7/365 and has a flat fare no matter how long your trip. It's also very easy to fare evade if you really want to. There are also many unused tunnels hidden underground. Those factors attract homeless people to live in there

The mentally ill and addicted homeless in New York City is beyond heartbreaking I've seen it firsthand. And they have never done anything for them but the illegals came in and they got the red carpet rolled out for them! This is so screwed up I can't even fathom the lack of humanity!
💯
In Canada, the government ordered the destruction of studies showing that legalization of drugs without actual help and reintegration of the homeless into the community is extremely harmful. At this point it seems likely that some in the government don’t want these people to get better - it’s another racket.
You can't help somebody that doesn't want to help their self these people are choosing this lifestyle

Give me a break. These are drunks and addicts. There are plenty of resources available for ‘homeless’ people who follow the shelters’ rules. These vagrants are the ones who refuse to follow ANY rules, and instead want to grift off the taxpayer

When Big Pharma found the answer to mental illness i.e. Haldol that was the beginning of putting the mentally ill on the streets. Corporate America sucks
A persons right to self determination doesn't include the right to make everyone else unsafe by committing crimes, wasting themselves on drugs and alcohol in high volume foot traffic in public places, especially enclosed public places, while they then inflict themselves on you.
We in this country should be ashamed that there are homeless people, veterans, sleeping on the street. Yet we have migrants living in luxury hotels, free food, free medical care, fancy homes given to them to park their Fanny's in. No American Veteran should be living on the street. No American should be living on the street. Time for us to get it right.🇺🇲 AMERICA FIRST !!!!
I agree and disagree. I’m almost certain that the majority of homeless folks now are not veterans just normal people/civilian’s who was born into hardship and got addicted to drugs and crime etc. I do agree that our veterans should be prioritized first and our own civilians and not migrants.
You should be ashamed for the fact that you think you can dicate where humans in America sleep, adolph. We aren't gonna round them up again.
We all deserve what we continue to tolerate !
I come from a 3rd world poor country, and over there we have plenty of poor homeless people, but none are even allowed to enter the stations/metro system. We have a system in place where the entrance itself is designed in such a manner with active guards and a ticket checker in place. So, it's simple it's not rocket science to fix the problem of removing the homeless from entering the stations in the first place. Hell, with ticket checkers and guards at the entrance checkpoint itself, removes the problem of fare beaters as well.
You idiots blame migrants instead of the ruling class which is hoarding wealth and causing a homeless crisis. We have more than enough resources to care for migrants and eradicate homelessness.

I've seen homeless living in the subways as far back as the 1960s. It just seems to have grown over the past few decades. All that time and still no solution.
I remember in the 70s reading a true story about a guy in the 1950s whose life consisted of riding the subway 24/hr day. He used the restrooms (which no longer exist) to clean up.
Open borders added at least 50 MILLION WELFARE RECIPIENTS TO our DEBT & BURDEN.

and the bleeding hearts will say that they just need medical care and treatment but here is the reality..they wont take their meds and if they need to be followed up by a nurse or social worker they have long disapeared ..

They must have banned cops too because you don’t see them anywhere on the system. Why have MTA Police if they don’t patrol the system?

Homeless shelters are absolutely horrid and more dangerous than the street
accurate
Speaking as someone who was homeless after a DV attack: Homelessness is a condition, not an identity. The fact that we have long-term homeless folks in America speaks to our scrambled priorities not to these men and women.
In my case it speaks to me being sick of paying extortionate rents for the privilege of making someone else rich.
Im in the desert by myself far from all this current day bullshit.
This man is hands down one of the worst mayor NY city ever had
Sad state when in America that so many in this country are homeless.😢😢
Its a multi faced issue. Some people are homeless by choice some aren’t. By choice is what i mean for those who chose to live in drugs vs get help. Alot of families try to help them with addiction but they refuse it. Its hard to stop but it still is a choice to continue its abuse and wasteful spending of drugs. Those that arent there by choice have truly been let down by the government and its infrastructure. I met a homeless man once helping a shelter and he couldn’t work or get the appropriate healthcare after getting a L1 L2 vertebrae injury while on the job and cant work anymore so he was let off because he couldn’t make rent
@ some people are. Never said all people. Some homeless people ultimately choose to be homeless when given the options to not abuse drugs. For example in Texas you cant be high or on drugs to be admitted into a shelter. Many of them continue to use the money they get for food and then for drugs that consistently deny them access. Its a hard addiction to curb and im not gonna sugar coat it. But ultimately it started as a choice and ends as a choice
@CRhetorix capitalism has pulled more people out of poverty than any other system. You sound like a whack job.

And men.
@@w2classSociety don't care about men that's why she ain't mention us. And she probably thinks most the people who are homeless are men when it also includes those same women and children she fake cares about. This is America!
@@w2classmen are the danger to women and children, not men. Are you scared of your fellow man?

But you give illegal immigrants a hotel,what a joke
NYC have been using hotels as homeless shelters for years now..

Without laws and enforcement of laws you get chaos ! You couldn’t pay me enough to live there .
I was growing up in "communist" Poland-never saw homeless people there, even the worst alcoholics have place to call home
Subway? That's a strange way to spell dystopia. The place looks as if it was designed to be as hellish as possible.
Cost of living is out of control! It's a prison for people who have not committed crimes.
And wen you cant leave you pay taxes

They consider "unrealized gains" a loss on their records and use the tax base to bail them out. Its trhetoric like this thats bullshit and a logical fallacy. Its all a lie and and eminence front to make New York look like its a beautiful metropolitan growth in this country; instead of a rotting memory. The Big Apple's core has for many decades been eaten by worms. The billionaire corporations and politicians have managed it into poverty/austerity.
They are all doing just fine but have left you in waste, among the mediocre achievers and mentally ill. She has become the great whore, and everyone has had their way with her. The American dream is truly a nightmare in disguise, haunting your every waking moments.

Im sorry, but the only solution is warfare, desolation, destruction.
My brother bought a 2 bedroom house in the suburbs. In 15 years his property taxes doubled to 13k.
He moved to new Hampshire
I’m in NYC right now. The subway system is very sketchy. We feel unsafe especially after 8pm.
Get a car then and stop being judgmental
you're gonna take it to 125th street ....
It is not a crime to be homeless but is a crime to invade places where the people use for everyday needs. then whatever the reason for being homeless, nobody to watch for them. The city should take care and help, take control, because there goes the taxpayer's money.
POLICE COMMISSIONER complaining about crime
ISNT THAT HER FREAKING JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
SHE IS THE PROBLELM
When the courts just release anyone arrested, it's not her problem.
She just got the job at the end of November. Crime is not going to disappear overnight; especially with the district attorneys in place in NYC. She is starting to clean up in-house. It's a good start. We will see what hapens over the next few months.
It's a crime that this city is going to the dogs
Worse than that, even the strays have left😅
The dogs left, they couldn't tolerate it
I am a new Yorker who rides the subway for over 30 years..this is the WORST State I ever seen it in and this is referring to 90s that were very dangerous. The issue here is that 99% of the homeless people now have mental issues that do not onlynmake them safe, but they can't ask them if they want help...ANYONE homeless should be given the resources to get housed or they can be arrested. This can't be a choice for them..but enforced
I grew up in Bay Ridge Brooklyn in the 90s. Ended up going into foster care in 96 and being taken out of the city. What was it like in the 90s from an adult perspective, and when did it change? I remember the parks being full of drunk homeless people when I went to the playground. many people jumping the turnstiles in the subways and the overall filth. I remember seeing needles on the ground when I was 3 and having no idea what they were. I went back as an adult in 2018 and it was all cleaned up. Way different then I remembered it in the 90s.
and there are empty skyscraper's in every city because people can work from home
@@PEARL712scott Only 10% of New Yorkers work from home. The almost half empty office buildings (56%), is due to lack of tenants, not remote workers.
Update yourself with facts, instead of imagining things.
Yes
The problem is they must be institutionalized, they cannot live unassisted. And being institutionalized, they cannot get drugs... and most of them are addicts.
They just need to be moved to a homeless zone where there is food, drugs, and buildings for sleep that are staffed. Far from any city. No reproducing allowed.
Once people became homeless, it is almost impossible to rebuild their life again without outside help.
No human should sleep on ground. Also, subway is not shelters.
9:44 - It may be a public space, but I pay to ride and have a reasonable expectation for safety, hygienic conditions, and no violations upon my own right to peace & my own pursuit of happiness.
Let the advocates and officials open their own doors to this behavior if they believe it requires protection.
Absolutely, that's what taxes are supposed to be used for. This is why I am for them being abolished, they aren't being used properly for their intended purposes.
They've forgotten all about the average Americans simple rights, to be safe on the streets. They only care that others have the right to degenerate the fabric of society.
Lol. Whatever democrat. You wanted this. You begged the democrats. Lol this is exactly what you wanted.
Homeless shelters are dangerous places. Drugs,sex, assaulted by others. I do not blame people who do not want to go there.
More like they have to **not** do drugs to stay there, and many won't comply.
I worked at a shelter for a while. A lot of people would get out of prison and end up there shortly after. Jailhouse behavior would end up coming with them. Stealing mattresses from others to double stack them. Sneaking drugs in and getting bent in the bathroom. Aggressive behavior trying to be the biggest, etc.
You can go in and keep to yourself, but eventually, someone will steal your shit while you're sleeping or something.
Well then these people need to be in jail. Rather pay for them to be j. Jail and not a threat to innocent people. They don’t cooperate follow rules they can rest and relax in prison.
Yep, I was in a homeless shelter and there are dangerous people that stay in these places. I didn't stay long after being there for a while, I found a better way.
One issue is that there are homeless who do not want a home. They want money and benefits but don't want to change their situation because then they would have responsibilities.
🎯
That's exactly it. They don't want to adult.
Or it could be because of rising inflation and ever stagnant minimum wages combined with the rich buying up houses and causing a housing crisis
Municipalities and shelters receive significant federal funding, creating financial incentives tied to homelessness. Visible homelessness may exacerbate social and economic divisions, while institutions profit from the persistence of this crisis.
Hey so I’m gonna hopefully help clear up some issues about this exact problem. My wife and I lost the one job we had between us and we ran out of money. I had already been trying to get hired for two years by that point, and by the time she lost her job we had so little left because rent takes everything, that we couldn’t afford to pay the rent for very long, so we had to go live on the street.
Besides the mentally ill people who are incoherent and incapable of understanding and communicating, there’s two very strange factors at play with people “who help the homeless”.
When we were approached by people who worked for nonprofit groups, all of them told us “Oh good thing you didn’t go to the city, because if you did we can’t help you.” However, they almost never had anything to help us with anyway- things would ALWAYS have to be “later” or next time. This kept us in a state where if we wanted to get help, we had to reject the city, but we weren’t being helped, we were just promised it.
The second thing is that the city’s “help” is unhelpful anyway. Today it was 13° with 11 MPH winds. If you were in the subway to escape the below freezing temperatures, you’ll be told by those homeless outreach people that you can sit in a heated bus until 5 in the morning and then they kick you out. There’s no point to doing that when you can just stay in the subway.
Eventually we gave up and went to the city shelters because we had enough of the nonprofit people teasing help (for months) but never giving it.
Guess what? The city found us ineligible for shelter even though they couldn’t find anywhere else for us to go. Despite our ineligibility, we were given two weeks to stay in a shelter before we’d have to leave.
Neither of us smoke, have a drinking problem or violent tendencies, just people who were trapped in a terrible financial situation- yet we had to walk on eggshells to avoid being kicked out early.
The “help” for the homeless isn’t really help at all, and both the city and nonprofit organizations share that blame. The city trying to get laws passed to forcibly remove people from the subway is INSANE. They’re not going to help them anyway- just dump them back out on the street.
I wish and hope for a miracle for You, and your wife! 🙏
@@karynlein1543thank you! Thankfully as of relatively recently we’re no longer outside so our situation has much improved
On the other side of the country, I am one step away from your situation. I hope good things for us both....
@@karynlein1543 Thank you for the kind words! Just to set the record straight, as of relatively recently we're no longer stuck outside, so our situation has already improved a lot since then
@@WindsofChange I hope so too
I have a GREAT idea!
How about having the activists who thinks approaching these people to offer help is HARASSMENT, MAKE them open up their homes and SUPPORT these people FINANCIALLY, and EMOTIONALLY!
They can FEED and HOUSE them and PAY for their mental health needs!😃👏🏽
Thank you for the respectful reporting. Human beings deserve so much more.
no! not illegals what r u talking about
These homeless people should not be allowed to sleep in the subway system or airports. Just make sure people that dont pay get arrested. it doesnt matter if its $2 they can probably lower the price of tickets to $1 if they actually make sure everyone pays.
Bingo. Shelters are unsafe.
What makes them unsafe? Is it....each other?
@@Thetimecapsuletxdo you even live in NYC? In the shelters, there are constant fights, stabbings and shootings.
@@Thetimecapsuletxyou should go try making yourself vulnerable sleeping next to total strangers from different criminal and psychological backgrounds risking your personal safety and see how that works out
@@Carnagex91He was asking who are the ones doing the shootings, stabbings, etc... IE the knes making it unsafe? It is the staff or the clients?
@@Thetimecapsuletxtake a look at the individuals and then imagine them all packed into on place.
NYC is DOOMED ! Two more of NYC Mayor Adams appointees resign this week ahead of criminal charges..
When corruption and chaos infest in the highest political offices it is no wonder why the rest of the city is in chaos and decline.
Don't forget the governor, Attorney General, Senators , AOC all of them have to go. They're always there for the immigrants. Where are they for Americans. They've spent millions on useless count cases too.
They All have to go. Time to restock the government and take back our country.

@@RiotforPeacePlzhe has house and senate control now so there can be real change
Most of NY state voted red. NYC voted democrat.
There are homeless "cities" within the unused tunnels of the NYC subway system. Clearing out the stations that are in use will not end the problem.

For the activist saying the homeless have the right open your doors to them
In fact , have those liberals leave thier home doors open day and night to let anyone into thier homes....just like our borders.
Ahhh yes but the illegals get 1500 a month, food stamps and a free room
do they have the right to shelter during extreme winter, or should they set themselves on fire to keep each other warm?
do they have the right to shelter during extreme winter, or should they set themselves on fire to keep each other warm?
they do, until they dont. sounds like this report is saying the mayor is working on making it illegal. they have case workers right now trying to help people but soon they will all be booted out.

"A danger to themselves or a danger to others"...
There is another category of 'mental illness'...
Individuals who, through no fault of their own, have legitimate reasons to be paranoid about potential threats others pose to themselves...
A disturbing set of circumstances indeed 😕
It's one of the other reasons some people are detained in psychiatric facilities
Unless you are illegal, then you get a hotel! SMH
We need this in Boston. Twice in the last month I've seen actual feces in the subway. Some people are so stinky they stink up the whole area
Boston sucks
There are some pretty stinky folks here in the NYC subways. They can clear out a train car quickly.
Let's just pray you never become homeless! Have a heart man. Why can't the government put up homeless people, like they do the illegals?
You get what you vote for. Panhandling is basically illegal where I live.
There are tons of homeless in the next county over, but none in our county.
It's just not worth trying to panhandle here. The county sheriff will pick you up, detain you for several hours for processing, and then drive you out of the county. You lose a whole day of begging and you're left somewhere you don't want to be.
@simsreject5925 tell me about it. My fellow New Yorkers are some of the dumbest in the union, save for maybe cali. I hate this place.
In Southeast Asia if you aren’t a passenger going from point a to point b on the subway you will not be allowed to enter.
And their subway system is safe and spotless
That's nice. I'm sure south Asian doesn't allow non citizens to invade their country whenever they please.
The question is why the hell is Tisch the police commissioner? She has no background in law enforcement, and in fact her last job was in sanitation. This should be investigated!
EXCELLENT REPORTING!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!! YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT REPORTER!!!
Mr. Jordan's Journalism is profound. Easily outranking any news stations.
This highlights systemic issues with homelessness: shelters exist but are often unsafe, and many homeless individuals struggle with addiction or mental health conditions. The closure of long-term mental health facilities exacerbates the problem. The core issue lies in the lack of government investment in mental health rehabilitation, leaving the public to face the consequences in hygiene, safety, and quality of life, while some activists focus on rights without addressing root causes.
This highlights Americans being bottom priority!! If that!!
Just to bounce off your comment, we really do need compulsory mental health facilities for many of these individuals. People are so up in arms about that but really we need go back to the asylum style without the human atrocities some of them had. We threw the baby out with the bathwater.
Also there's groups who profits millions off keeping people homeless with minimum handouts while employees making over 200k a year and constantly give themselves raises.

Bangkok same. Clean and polite people.

Japan is a different world. So naturally, there's enormous pressure on Japan to open its doors to massive third-world immigration so it can become just like the US and western Europe.

There needs to be a law that Every activist and activist lawyer must house 5 homeless people- that way they are not homeless anymore!
Someone did this for me as a homeless person. The stability that they provided allowed me to create a trajectory of success that eventually led to my becoming a homeowner!
Im not even a homeowner and I have a job 😖
Activists screech about leaving the mentally ill and unhoused alone and allowed to be in public spaces like the subway, but then they get angry when one of those people has a psychotic episode and citizens are forced to step in. That’s how we got Jordan Neely. Daniel Penny did nothing wrong.
should have let go sooner.
@@MomeGnome He was mentally ill. He had schizophrenia. But as you said, he should have been taken care of regardless of the schizophrenia or not due to his record. The city has trained us to be quiet instead of defend ourselves but with Penny case and other cases (Jordan Williams), officials are understanding that we are not taking this crap anymore.
Agree ❤❤❤❤
Why are they in the most expensive city in US??????
and one of the coldest too
They should have been prioritizing getting the Americans there looked after first, before illegals. Completely backwards, only when your own countrymen are housed & received the help they need should you look to bringing more ppl in from other places. Absolutely crippling to society.
So much of NYC looks like its stuck in the early 90's.. like its been left to rot for the last 30 years.
It wasn't left to rot for 30 years. It took twenty years of Republican mayor's (Giuliani and Bloomber) to turn it around and made it better. But just 4 years of Democrat mayor DiBlasio with a cop hating city council turned it backward. Covid made things a lot worse. But your point is well taken. It is bad.
Except more immigrants
