The plan to save the NYC subway: 1,000 cops will descend to move homeless into 600 new psychiatric ward places, mayor and governor announce
  • NYC Mayor Eric Adams has deployed 1,000 cops and 30 teams of health workers to address homelessness and crime in the city's subway

  • The Subway Safety Plan calls on officers to step up enforcement of subway rules and empty trains at the end of the line

  • The officers will be accompanied by health workers who will help the mentally ill and point them to the city's support services

  • The plan also involves an expansion of Kendra's Law, a 1999 statue that allows judges to force outpatient treatment for mentally ill people

  • Gov. Kathy Hochul said the state will provide 1,100 beds for psychiatric and homeless shelter use as part of a $39.5 million statewide initiative

  • The state will also invest $9 million a year to recruit mental health workers

#4 Not long, MM.

Besides, there are too many 'non-profits' that indeed profit greatly from the 'plight exploitation' of the homeless population.

#5 Of course, mental hospitals may acquire new cachet now that "freedom" is a mental health problem.

#6 Np. Just create another $250 million per year, ThriveNYC-style "mental health" program run by the mayor's family -- aka "a smoke-and-mirrors slush fund."
