Mamdani Lets Homeless Encampment by Intrepid Museum Fester

Nothing could be more emblematic of liberal rule than homeless encampments, so this story from the New York Post comes as no surprise:

A sprawling homeless encampment near the Intrepid Museum in Manhattan has been vexing business owners and passersby for months — but the city is effectively running a valet trash service for its rough-sleeping residents rather than clearing the eyesore.

The steadily growing shantytowns — haphazardly strewn with all manner of bicycles, electronics and garbage — have taken over sizable portions of West 45th and 46th Streets along Twelfth Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen, between the museum parking lot and an Amazon warehouse.

According to legend, back in the 1800s a rookie cop said, “This place is hell itself.” A more experienced cop responded, “Hell’s a mild climate. This is Hell’s Kitchen.” Thanks to Mamdani, the neighborhood is changing for the worse.

Normal people are sick of the stench. In response to their repeated complaints, the city sends sanitation workers on a regular basis to cart away unwanted trash but leaves the encampment in place.

Drug-addled bums love the direction New York is taking:

“Mamdani is awesome. He, like, did a whole paradigm shift on homelessness and care,” said Markus C., who lives in an encampment on West 40th Street but visits the 46th Street shantytown roughly twice a week. …

James Bilis, 35, from Jersey City, has been living on the streets for five years. He also heaped praise on Mamdani for the uptick in outreach services and the lack of enforcement.

“The homeless outreach, it’s been a lot of that. They walk around, they bring food to people all the time now. They bring supplies, try to give us shelters, there’s a lot more than before,” he said.

It is no accident that homelessness explodes where moonbats have control. Los Angeles is another case in point, as Steve Hilton would like to change:

WOAH My jaw literally dropped listening to this

The Los Angeles Police Department came and tried to clean up Skid Row and in a response a nonprofit working with Mayor Karen Bass SUED THEM and stopped police from EVEN BEING ALLOWED TO ENTER

Imagine the entire country as a homeless encampment. That’s what progressives are progressing toward.
