A 2015 count tallied 88,250 homeless people in New York, statewide -- the highest homelessness rate since the Great Depression.

Wait a sec.....something isn't right.

I thought there were homeless only during Republican administrations.

Does anyone remember how the media used to lambast Reagan for the alleged homelessness problem?

I also thought that besides lowering the sea level, 0bama was going to solve all these problems.

What's up?

WHO does he think he is to ORDER people into shelters?

Did America somehow die over the holidays?

So, if there is not enough shelter space, they’re supposed to break into private residences to obey his orders?

Whoa, WHAT? “A 2015 count tallied 88,250 homeless people in New York, statewide — the highest homelessness rate since the Great Depression.”

Simply not possible. Everybody knows homelessness simply doesn’t exist when you have Dem Mayors, Dem Governors, and Dem POTUS.

Brook Hays...report for re-education immediately and turn in your journalism “degree” forthwith.

Perhaps he should also order them to eat cake when they are hungry.

What’s the difference between a hobo and a homo?

A hobo doesn’t have any friends.
A homo has friends up the a**.

"The directive goes into effect Tuesday."

24 hours too late.

Monday, the night temp is predicted to be 3F.

There will be a lot of frozen stiff homeless on Tuesday morning.

Wonder how this works? Walking down the street having the ‘appearance’ of being homeless, get asked to show proof of residence, no proof, off to the shelter with you!

"The order directs state agencies -- including police, social services and others -- to take 'all necessary steps to identify individuals reasonably believed to be homeless and unwilling or unable to find the shelter necessary for safety and health in inclement winter weather, and move such individuals to the appropriate sheltered facilities.'"

Andy, if they're unwilling, are you going to approve of physical force to move them? Are you going to give those involved in moving them, the ability to protect themselves during any physical confrontations? Guaranteed, there will be incidents to deal with.

No doubt this is a way to give law enforcement a way to save the lives of the large percentage of mentally ill homeless since otherwise LEOs’ hands are tied. It’s a disgrace that we have so many mentally ill people who aren’t being given the help they need thanks to the “compassionate” liberals who decided they’re better off on the streets.

Hey, what I want to know is when did the homeless in New York get so freakin stupid that they need the Governor to tell them to get in out of the cold? And if they are that stupid shouldn't we just let them earn their Darwin?

Typical liberal progressive garbage. Here is what he actually said properly translated!

“I order all homeless into shelter when its bad out!.....There...I fixed it! Now, back to my insane corruption and subversion of the rights of the people of this state.!”

This is awesome. All problems can be solved by government decree. Finally, Thank Obama the most holy. Uninsured? Declare everyone must buy insurance. Unemployed, declare you are employed. Homeless? Declare you must find shelter. Hungry, Declare you are full.

HAIL the glorious revolution comrades. With such bold declarations by government we can see the brave new world. And if you don’t like it....

Oh yeah. Apparently Obola has solved the homeless problem.

Cuomo ORDERS Homeless to seek shelter?!
There may be more to this than what it says. This could be just the first step in a roundup. Which could lead to “settlements”.
