Reply to comment by ChrisFromLongIsland in New Yorkers witnessed more homelessness, encampments during Mayor Adams’ first year by Nscience
Wow it’s amazing that there are any New Yorkers at all who don’t feel like you do. I actually consider it a badge of pride that I don’t knowingly or willingly associate with anyone like you and most people I know here are working people who would not talk about homeless people this way. You know how I feel about most homeless people? Profoundly sorry for them. Have they sometimes been a nuisance to me in my decades of life here? Sure. But my overwhelming emotion when thinking about them is somehow not disgust.

So you support letting mentally ill people who can't help themselves die in the streets? You like the current situation and would want more of it?
Maybe government can to more to fix the situation and help the mentally ill homeless. Or maybe everytime someone actually tries to help they are shut down by people who walk by someone with schizophrenia and thinks wow they are living there best life and anything done to help them is actually hurting them. I think your divisive opinion without trying to actually solve a public health crisis in a relatively small population of people is why nothing substantial is done to help people with severe mental illness who cannot help themselves.

Of course I support more aid to homeless people. My main problem was that your overall tone regardless homeless people is one of clear contempt. But keep reading sh$t into my comments that isn’t there to make yourself look better. Homeless people yell at you and smell sometimes, poor you.
