NYC inks new $250K contract to relocate homeless, migrants
2025-04-15
[NYPOST] Homeless New Yorkers — and now migrants colonists — looking to skip town are getting a free ticket-to-ride out of the Big Apple.

The city Department of Homeless Services has inked a new $250,000 contract with booking agent Alpha International Travel Corp., to relocate some of the nearly 100,000 homeless shelter residents across the US. Migrants looking to leave New York City will also be accommodated, as part of a revamp of DHS' Travel Assistance program.

''This program will also now help with the relocation of new arrivals,'' a spokesperson for Mayor Eric Adams
...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a bunch of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve...
said. ''Streamlining these operations will allow us to continue closing more emergency shelters and help migrants colonists leave our system to take the next step on their journey.''

#3  So, bussing undesirables away is good now?
Abbott and DeSantis got a lot of hate for it.

#1  The capacity of a garbage truck varies depending on its type. For example, a typical front loader garbage truck can hold up to 40 cubic yards of refuse, which is equivalent to the size of 8 standard dumpsters.
An average side loader can hold up to 28 cubic yards of garbage.
Rear loaders can hold waste from up to 850 households, and some larger models can transport up to 18 tons of waste.
Roll-off trucks can carry about 20,000 pounds, or 10 tons, of waste.
These trucks are designed to compact the trash to maximize space, not to transport people. Therefore, the question of how many people can fit into a garbage truck is not applicable as they are not designed for human transport.
