“#Homeless should never live on benches<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

MTA Interim Transit President Sarah Feinberg lit into homeless advocates on Sunday, accusing them of defending the status quo of unhoused individuals sleeping on trains and platforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe homeless advocates, the groups that have devoted their time and their resources and their advocacy skills to helping the homeless have sort of decided that the subway is a reasonable place for folks to live,\u201d Feinberg charged during an interview on WABC radio\u2019s \u201cCats Roundtable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe answer should never be that someone lives on a bench or someone lives in a tunnel,\u201d she said. \u201cIt boggles the mind that there are groups out there that have decided that this is an acceptable solution for these folks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feinberg\u2019s comments echoed those of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who last week pointed the finger at Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s administration for turning the subways into a rolling homeless shelter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere did we get to this point where homeless are supposed to be sleeping on subways?\u201d Cuomo said during one of his multiple rants last week on the conditions underground.<\/p>\n

\u201cI reject this whole notion of people who say, \u2018We should let the homeless live on subways, and we should let them live in subway stations, and we should let them sleep on benches. That\u2019s our default homeless system,\u201d the governor said.<\/p>\n

Feinberg noted that many of the homeless individuals app<\/a>roached by social<\/a> service workers on the subways refuse to go into city-run shelters out of concern for their safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t be that city where we\u2019ve said, you know, we don\u2019t have a housing solution for you, but there is an underground system, so why don\u2019t you try living there,\u201d she told host John Catsimatidis. \u201cThe transit system is not a safe place to live.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the equivalent of living on the median of a highway, right? We\u2019ve got trains moving at all times. It\u2019s exceedingly dangerous.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
