A captive population will be provided psychiatric drugs at taxpayer expense. Human services industry professionals, the psychiatric industry supported by the pharmaceutical industry will continue earning taxpayer money while persons without homes, remain homeless. An example of the public policy priorities. Corporations and professionals earn taxpayer funds treating vulnerable persons who remain vulnerable and subject to treatment using taxpayer funds. It is an unending source of income. How much in campaign contributions does this concerned Mayor receive each cycle?
[From article]
Mayor Bill de Blasio admitted Thursday he has “real concern” about the homeless people taking over the city’s streets.
“I think it’s a real concern and I share the concern of my constituents who have said to me they’re worried that there are homeless people on the streets,” he said at an event in Brooklyn.
His comments come after The Post revealed how more vagrants are setting up shop in neighborhoods all over the city — including the Upper West Side.
But de Blasio denied that the problem stems from an actual rise in homelessness.
“The actual numbers, thank God, suggest that the reality is a little different — that the actual number of street homeless has gone down a bit,” he said. “But that doesn’t make it any less of a problem for so many people.”
The city’s first lady is planning to unveil a “very bold plan” that will change how New York handles mental health problems, de Blasio said.
“Let’s face it, a lot of our street homeless have very serious mental health issues and substance abuse issues and we intend to treat this situation very differently,” he said.
