It's not necessarily a bad thing if the people are being put in a better location, like a shelter.

Apparently the decision was made following deaths in these camps.

He has a social organization handling it. Not cops. And their aim is to get people in shelters.

--Mamdani had promised to stop the street encampment sweeps championed by his predecessor, Mayor Eric Adams — but reversed course earlier this month after at least 19 New Yorkers died outside in the cold weather, the majority of them from hypothermia.

-Under the rebooted Mamdani administration policy, the outreach workers would follow up with homeless people for seven days in a row before moving forward with tearing down their encampments.

Thing is, this fash sweep has been done before. It isn't about saving lives, but gentrifying the vulnerable, the oppressed, the evicted.

He isn't doing fash (fast?) sweeps. There is actually plans and processes. It's to keep people from dying of the cold.

Abbreviation of fascism.

It’s to keep people from dying of the cold.

We don't buy this lie: He would have housed the homeless instead, at his expense.

I swear. Leftists are hell bent on finding something wrong with this man. This is why people see the far left as a fucking joke.

You don't even know what a “far left” is, living in the far right country. What in the swear do you even know what are conservative values, man?
