Zohran’s cold homeless coverage: Letters – Latest News
I’m flummoxed; Mayor Mamdani acts as if he cares in regards to the homeless, however he is not going to instruct the NYPD to dismantle homeless encampments (“Mr. Freeze’s cold, cold heart,” Michael Goodwin, Feb. 11).
His coverage towards the homeless has allowed 18 people to freeze within the bitter cold. Is this the true program of Democratic Socialists? That “caring statements” aren’t adopted with motion? I shudder to assume what’s in store for New York sooner or later.

Mamdani’s callousness concerning the homeless who died exterior within the cold and the creation of a vehicle for antisemitic propaganda within the Department of Health are each attributable to this ugly actuality: He cares more about Gaza than New York City.

Where are the demonstrations over the tragic loss of life due to the mayor’s coverage? Where’s the chanting within the streets, the blocking of visitors, the demand for life-saving coverage change?
The left makes noise and creates unrest on behalf of prison unlawful aliens, however not for unlucky souls who’re freezing to death on the streets of New York City.

With near-daily regularity, The Post excoriates and demeans the new mayor with the albatross of failure to expeditiously clear streets clogged with the aftermath of the worst blizzard in years.
Apparently, Mamdani is instantly liable for the resultant impediment of large trash pile-ups, and the near-impossible process of corralling the poor unfortunates who populate the huge metropolis’s streets and subways with neither means nor sense to stop their own frozen demise.
There’s additionally a holdup in The Bronx, Brooklyn’s damaged out in fights, there’s a visitors jam in Harlem that’s backed up to Jackson Heights, and I’m assuming naturally, Zo is the guilty occasion. Give it a relaxation.

If the homeless can’t be taken to shelters except they’re a hazard to others or themselves . . . give it some thought for a second. They are a hazard to themselves as a result of they risk freezing to death as we’ve got seen.
Take them indoors to keep away from more deaths. Or is that this Mamdani’s reply to controlling the homeless population? Such ineptitude is just unforgivable.

Way to go Zo: You lastly found out how to get rid of the homeless off the streets of New York City with out utilizing the police, EMTs or another businesses.
Now all you must do is get a provide of physique baggage. Maybe former Gov. Andrew Cuomo can let you know the place to get them.

Mamdani’s homeless coverage of letting people “choose” to remain exterior will not be far off of locations like Canada with their assisted-suicide insurance policies.

Governments and their businesses ought to operate with a “life preservation” angle. If you don’t make decisions that proceed life, you might not be mentally match to make important choices.

I simply learn that the fiendish ghoul, Mayor Mamdani, allowed an 18th sufferer to freeze to death within the cold.
My query is, why do the police obey his command to not take somebody into custody who’s a clear hazard to themselves? Protecting people who’re a hazard to themselves or others is an element of their job. When did this change?
The cops ought to simply say no to his insane calls for. Refusing to guard somebody who will not be competent to look after themselves, when their conduct will clearly result in their death, is a type of murder, for my part.

It’s a shame how Mamdani simply let these people freeze to death during our bitter cold spell.
He is so out of contact — after solely a month and a half since he grew to become mayor. He has no thought what he’s doing and is unfit to be the mayor of New York City, period.
