I never said the DCCC covered it, I said his opponent covered it, but the media ignored it.

Yeah no shit, because this is the first time the media actually picked up the story.

Zimmerman brought it up during the campaign.

It was by his opponent. The media just didn’t care at the time and just crimeposted instead.

Isn’t this the same guy begging New Yorkers to mask up?

Fucking clown

Remember, we voted for this.

I mean, it depends on where in the city you’re talking about. If you’re in a more residential place like the Heights or the UWS, yeah stuff is gonna close earlier. If you’re in neighborhoods that are known for partying (west and east village, LES, Williamsburg, Bushwick), you’ll find a ton of stuff that’s open late on weekends. Heck, I think Katz’s just resumed its 24hr operation on weekends a few months ago.

Show me the exact contents of that bill.

> But now we have this new brand of "progressiveness" that just want to defund the police or even go against police training to reduce brutality.

> Economic Revenue to businesses and employees in this city; Tax Revenue.

So find new sources of that. We have the most billionaires in the world. I’d say start there.

At least start the process of weaning us off of that revenue stream. Vacancy taxes and higher taxes on the rich would help.

> People have literally been saying the solutions for the past 5 years: build more housing, expand the social safety net, improve healthcare in the city.

That’s not “free houses, free healthcare, free "social safety net" (food stamps, drug treatment, counseling, education and employment programs, etc).”

> We literally said the same shit - free houses, free healthcare, free "social safety net" (food stamps, drug treatment, counseling, education and employment programs, etc).

Please show me where I said that.

This is the funniest thing about you people.

> Call me a fascist or socialist or whatever, take all my money and put whoever you want in office, just somebody fucking do something to make any change whatsofuckingever.

You say that, but then you mock the policies that would actually make a difference.

What are you for, good sir?

Huh? That’s not how civil rights work. Also lmao at you defending big real estate like that.

> Happened right outside my own building.

Sure it did.

People have literally been saying the solutions for the past 5 years: build more housing, expand the social safety net, improve healthcare in the city.

> I feel like inevitably it's some pipedream shit where we're going to build 50 new skyscrapers with a free one-bedroom apartment for every homeless person, with free amenities, free drugs and alcohol, free food, free education, free medical aid, $2000 basic income a month, free everything and then they will magically one day totally willingly decide to stop being mentally ill and stop being addicted to substances and become productive contributing, self-sufficient members of society.

It’s funny how you whine about being called out for putting words in my mouth and then immediately double down on it. Never change, fascist.

Yes? Developers don’t have rights.

Even then, some homeless people being literally the joker is basically beyond satire at this point.

So no proof. Cool.

> No genius,I'm saying these views because I know someone that worked in the sector for a long time, and basically what he said was that there is no real way to solve the homeless problem until you separate out the junkies to forced treatment and the severely mentally ill to permanent institutions.

So you’re defending your argument with anecdotal evidence? Nice one lol

> Then you can start dealing with the people that can actually be helped. But the junkies and severe crazies ruin a lot of the services and public goodwill for everyone that could genuinely use the help.

And still you’ve yet to show any concrete evidence that that happens. 🤔🤔🤔

> And that's why I'm with Adams; lock up the batshit crazy ones where the won't be a danger to themselves, but chiefly longer a danger and public plague to others. I'd love for the subways not to smell like piss anymore.

Lmao then you’re backing the wrong horse. His plan does not do that.

And so you take that out on… the homeless? Why not the people in power who could’ve helped him?

Lmao like you’ve worked there?

Do you really think someone would do that? Tell lies on the internet?

Please show me proof actual homeless people are like that.

> this situation is described over and over by psychiatric and medical staff at hospitals and halfway houses ...

Yeah, because those places aren’t equipped to handle these people long term. They’re chronically understaffed and underfunded by a government that only sees them as a political pawn.
