NYC subway is no homeless shelter, Zohran Mamdani - can't you PRETEND to care about the city?
Briefly

Leftist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani proposes using empty retail spaces in the subway system for city-run facilities aimed at helping the homeless. While his intention is to provide care and support, critics argue this approach could exacerbate existing issues, such as safety concerns among subway riders. With a recent survey indicating low safety ratings, detractors emphasize that Mamdani's privileged background may limit his understanding of the real needs of the homeless. A call for stronger law enforcement and better management of mental health crisis situations is suggested as a more effective solution.
Mamdani’s proposal would encourage more mentally ill homeless to enter the system.
Mamdani wants to convert empty retail spaces in the MTA system into city-run facilities offering drop-in services for the homeless.
The city doesn't need them to have more reason to plague the subways.
If Mamdani wanted to make the subways better, he'd be fighting for more cops and more paths to involuntary commitment.
