It's summer. Enjoy the outdoors. And the smells. Some global cooling is right around the corner.

What happened to calling them bums? Deadbeats? Vagrants?

For backpackers, avoiding hotels on cheap vacations in outdoor camping friendly states and cities makes great sense.

Travel to NYC for a couple of weeks and stay away from the homeless, but still get the benefit of their street living laws.

RE: “I was in a Bowery shelter and they stole my stuff. I’d rather be outside.”

Always preferable to associate with a higher class group of vagrants.

If My Friends Could See Me Now
Song by Sammy Davis, Jr.

If they could see me now🎶
That little gang of mine
I’m eatin’ fancy chow and drinkin’ fancy wine🎶
I’d like those stumble bums
To see for a fact
The kind of top-drawer, first-rate chums I attract.

If my friends could see me now!🎶
If they could see me now🎶
My little dusty group
Traipsin’ round this million dollar chicken coop🎶
I’d hear those thrift shop cats say, “Brother get her!🎶
Draped on a bedspread made from three kinds of fur!”🎶

Did you hear that America! Living and craping on the sidewalks is much better under a Muzzie Mayor, Madmammi.

Now NYC “Noo” Socialism creates “noo” homeless camps!

NYU students deserve better!

On the other hand, why not recruit NYC universities, churches, and students to help house and feed the homeless, and train them for jobs, as in Boston/Cambridge?

Perhaps a repeat of hurricane Sandy that hit NYC will clear the sidewalks this fall...

Yay!!!! Now parents can feel even better about their children getting indoctrinated while being exposed to rampant drug use, public defecation and masturbation, trash and needles everywhere and the smells of vomit and urine wafting into those dormitories their little girls and boys while paying for a ffour-year undergraduate degree at New York University (NYU) typically costing between $287,000 and $380,000!!!!!

Happy Day, parents!!!! I hope your daughters don’t get raped!!!!!!!

“Some people are nice, some people think we invade their space,” Raymond, 45, who lives in the shelter, said Monday. “I was in a Bowery shelter and they stole my stuff. I’d rather be outside.”

I wish the article had told us more about Raymond - like: What is his criminal history? How does he manage his excretory functions in a crowded city environment? Does he regularly shop-lift? Is he an addict? Etc.

But no: The article instead portrays him as some innocent street waif trying to make sense of the world and find good in people - implying that he has the moral standing to judge upstanding citizens who might be bothered by his defecating in plain sight of children.

Regards,

What does anybody propose to actually do with these people.

Close down their camps, get them off the street...fine.

But where do they go, what can be done with them then? Just bitching about their existence won’t help.
