  • Adam you asked the criminals to come to NY. This a santuary state. Krep on receiving illegals.
  • Y the mayor don’t come to 149th street in the Bronx or 125th street Harlem

    Why you asking for money you created this mess right 😳
  • P.S. NBC, is this a news story, or is it just a public relations dispatch from the Mayor's office? Broadcast more than one point of view, or you are not news.
  • I get that "people deserve better" Thank you for that statement. You are right about that,  Mayor Adams. Are the homeless, addicted and excruciatingly poor people deserving of anything? If you are a mayor of all New Yorkers, let's set up shelters for the homelsss and help them to survive HUMANELY. I believe then are PEOPLE, HUMANS. I happen to believe that all humans are people. And all deserve safety and some level of RESPECT. What is your believe about all New Yorkers, including the homeless, including the addicted, untreated vicitims of abuse and violence who end up unable to care for themselves? I will copy and send this more directly to the Mayor's feedback. I am glad he cares about people. I want him to represent people with compassion and those who care about all people. Not just the fortunate, but also the unfortunate, the unlucky. Thanks for reading
  • Why can't he clean up ALL the streets. Why Manhattan. Cause. It's THAT type of neighborhood. Not the hood. (-_-) Please go somewhere else instead of creating crappy laws that don't do anything for anyone but bring confusion, pain and sadness to all now.
  • How about helpin them instead of shoveling the homeless elsewhere . We can help support war overseas and migrants but no money for the ones here 👍

    What? I use the live on 15th street, one block over. If this is what is happening now, I'm glad I moved out of the city. the only thing I worry about are 4 legged creatures.
