New York gives homeless people a one-way ticket to leave city
ew York has found a novel, if expensive, way of dealing with its overcrowded shelters – buying one-way tickets for homeless families to leave the city.
Under the initiative, by the administration of the mayor, Michael Bloomberg, hundreds of families have been given plane, rail, and bus tickets and even petrol vouchers to leave the city. One homeless family of five was given $6,332 (nearly £4,000) worth of travel costs to Paris, according to the New York Times.
:lol: this is awesome, now emprorer bloomberg can claim in his idiotic advertisements that he reduced homelessness in the big city...... I wonder if any other states would consider this an invasion?
