Thousands of homeless New Yorkers have continued to seek shelter in the citys subways, avoiding an overwhelmed and crowded shelter system that poses its own dangers during the COVID-19 pandemic. On Tuesday, both Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio condemned the presence of the homeless in the subways, but they offered little in the way of solutions to the problem.
Mayor Bill de Blasio is calling for the MTA to close ten subway stations so NYPD and homeless outreach workers can help get the homeless into shelters, and so the MTA can clean the stations thoroughly.
We'll devote the police resources, we'll devote the outreach workers, we'll do whatever it takes, but we need the MTA to agree to this plan, de Blasio said Tuesday.
The MTA has vaguely said it agrees with the mayors goals, but wont commit to closing terminals between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m. as de Blasio suggested. The agency has said it already cleans stations everyday, and all trains every 72 hours.
**SNIP**
That is disgusting, what is happening on those subway cars, Cuomo said. Its disrespectful to the essential workers who need to ride the subway system.
Cuomo offered no ideas or solutions. We have to do better than that, and we will, he said.

Play some pipe organ fugues by J.S. Bach (such as Dorian) or my favorite minimalist, Phillip Glass (Koyanistkatsi). Of course, those pieces may also scare the regular customers away too. That, or put them into a deep coma of tranquility.
Where do all the illegals stay?
Easy solution;
Commieo and De Blowsio should just expropriate all the hotels and put the homeless in them.
Almost more than Trump does, this virus is daily revealing them for who they are, and have always been under the cover of the mainstream media.
Reminds me of the other day when I was conversing with other San Francisco Giants fans on a Facebook Giants group. The San Franciscans (I'm not one) were arguing that parks and beaches should remain closed in the interest of health.
Dumbfounded, I posted, "Wait a minute. How can you talk about health when you allow people to crap on your streets?"
Crickets.
That's a typical response from liberals, because they can't argue facts. All they can do is continually repeat the crap they're fed by the fake news, and call people names. I don't do Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. The only places I post comments are here on FR, and a few of the other news sites like Fox,and Brietbart.
Thanks to these 2 assholes and their stance on crime, the homeless have no real choice. Harassed by gangs or ride the subways. ACLU will be i. The way on this one!
Potato salad!!
Now they finally want to fix the homeless problem? Theyre a little late, dont you think?
[Potato salad!!]
The Government!
At least give them muffin stumps.
Typical libs. They wait until a situation gets out of control before they blame it on Republicans.
There....fixed it.
LOL!! Thanks, that’s much better.
I’m surprised they haven’t found some “recovering” COVID folks to just go walking among the homeless ....sorta like they did with the nursing homes to kill off all the older folks.
At least they clean the subway cars every 72 hours according to the article in the stations every 24. Seems like now they couldve found a way to clean The trains fully at least daily if not more often, especially since they have much lower ridership now. Since they are running fewer trains from the reports Ive read it seems like they could rotate them out every certain number of hours for freshly clean ones, sure I would take some logistics planning but you would think someone in New York City would be smart enough to figure it out.
They need to concentrate Andrew.
What do you think?
camps for that?
OMG they are just NOW deciding this??

New tweets from De Blasio threaten to round up Jews.
They will take a page for gov nuwsome they will commandeer hotels under the pandemic crisis and fill them up. watch
I believe NYC’s antibody survey tests put them at 25%. Probably close to Sweden’s, but with the current lockdown it should be spreading more slowly, at least for now.
Has he mentioned Islam or mosques once?
But yeah, there has been decidely Hasidic flouting of social distancing for sure.
How about the mosques on Friday night?
