Nothing's free in New York - not even a stint in a city shelter.
Homeless people with jobs are going to have to start paying the city rent to stay in shelters, officials said Tuesday.
"Open-ended handouts, we know, don't work," Deputy Mayor Linda Gibbs said. "This is not a moneymaker. We're not doing this to close budget gaps. It's really the principles ... involved."
A 1997 state law requires New York to charge rent to the homeless who can afford it. The city never did, but has been pressed to do it since a state audit last year.
blah blah blah rest of article.

4. Don't give Bloomberg any ideas - after all, he can't raise taxes on his wealthy buddies
THAT would make his social life suffer.
Let's kick the people who can least protect themselves -- and THEN roll them for their money.
And etc. etc. with outrage. You'll NEVER guess who shows up:

10. For gawd's sake! What the hell does it take for "progressives" to GET that homeless people are NOT
druggies, drunks and crazies?
Then, a fight starts between her and one of the stupidest people on the internets.

26. I get your humor. But please understand that for those of us deperately in need of housing, this is
no laughing matter.
We would really appreciate that effort put into real action.

28. Look - I agree with you - and anyone who doesn't is an a**hole
And the more we can laugh AT these pathetic f**ks the better...they need to be riddiculed for being so heartless.
Humor is a tool you can use, not an enemy to shun

30. I took a risk sharing with you. I gave you a glimpse into my pain.
ACTION is what I'm asking for, and that is not only reasonable, it is legitimate.
I hope you will reconsider your reply.

36. What's to understand? I asked you to listen to my pain, and to take action.
You lectured me about "humor".
I have said all I can to get this across to you. If you don't want to step back and look at how you could deal with this differently, then don't tell me you are "agreeing".
"Progressives" can see things from another perspective when that is called for. Really.
I'm in pain!!! Do Something! Do Something! She's telling all NY DUers to melt their rep's phonelines. I'm otherwise occupied, however.
At the end of it all, Adbot mocks them with an ad for Motel 6 "Lowest Price of Any Chain." :-)

Heartless is providing help for those in need via the gov't. Care and compassion is providing for those in need face-to-face using your own funds and time. The heartless Taverner wants to sweep the issue under the rug by making "those people" the ward of the state.

Back when I was young and living in a homeless shelter, that's the way things worked. It was $5 a night, and you either paid it in funds, or worked it off doing chores at the shelter. The place wasn't there to facilitate the bums - like me, at the time - lying around on their sorry backsides.

Wait, bobbolink is homeless?

Let's kick the people who can least protect themselves -- and THEN roll them for their money.
Probably because he can't raise them anymore without an exodus of wealthy residents. I remember reading somewhere that 5000 residents in NYC pay over 40 percent of the taxes. 5000 in a city of over 10 MILLION.
-
NYC is like 90% liberal if not more.
I guess they'll blame this on the uncaring rethugs.
"Open-ended handouts, we know, don't work," Deputy Mayor Linda Gibbs said
This person, with that statement, has made herself the enemy of all leftists. hahaha

Maybe if he stopped wasting all that taxpayer money on frivolous lawsuits against gun shops in other states they could lower the taxes a little.

It would be great if they did move.

"Progressives" can see things from another perspective when that is called for. Really.
And when exactly is that called for, DUmbass bobbo? Is it up to you decide?
The only way you and other DUmbasses can see something from another perspective is to stop gazing at the back end of your tonsils, pull your head out of your ass and join the rest of us in reality.
Granted, that'll never happened, but it be nice.
-
These are homeless people WITH JOBS that are being asked to pony up a portion of their earnings.
I fail to see the problem.
-
Bobbo is a self-righteous, self-absorbed drama queen. I saw her fly off the handle the exact same way a couple of days ago with a DUmmy who was agreeing with her 100%, but because he didn't phrase everything just the right way she went into victim mode. Little whiny, manipulative asshole.

76. I'm just enjoying how you go batshit insane on every single one of these threads.
If I didn't enjoy it, I'd probably make a futile attempt to explain how your nasty behavior would put ANYONE off from helping you, and that would be a waste of both of our time.
LOL. So, which one of you is Super? :-)

Whats the income tax bracket of these people? I'm going to guess it's fairly high.

NYC is poorest big city in America
-
I don't understand why bobo didn't get a house when they were giving them away, no money down.
-
Probably because they weren't giving away furniture, a TV, dishes, and everything else. Worthless cow.

It's worth the effort to go look at this thread. Nearly 100 replies now. The smelly, dirty wino bobbolink plays the DUmbasses like a fiddle. I believe bobbolink could be the most masterful mole in the history of molery. The Michael Jordan of moles! The Ronald Reagan of trolls! Hats off to DUmmy bobbolink, on her iPhone in the back seat of her incredibly aromatic '86 Buick.

I don't know, but even if she's steamin', if her real personality is anything like her on-line persona, you'd need a ball gag and a fully-charged cattle prod to have any fun with her.

We put people in shelters in this area when the temperatures dip low enough to kill them.
All year round we find people that live in tents in the woods and eat 3 meals free at Churches and the Salvation army.
When running a shelter and a family comes in with 3-4 little kids that without help will live in a car, what is one to do.?
These people will not give up their kids for a few months so they can get on their feet, their kids are the key to getting aid for themselves.
Drives me nuts to watch these poor people that cannot feed themselves or children and as they complain and cry they light up a cigarette that is a major brand and $5.00 a pack.
There are plenty of handicapped folk that cannot work that have fallen between the cracks. The have a choice between a nursing home with no rights and going into a shelter where they still have the dignity of making their own choices.
This is disjointed as all cases are different, each person is different. If someone can contribute even time to pay their way, why not.??

Three dozen pine tree car deoderizers.... check.

Hah. Skin's Island can be an actual island. Frank will need something larger than a rowboat for his surveillance though.
