\n The real turnaround in reducing the number of homeless in the subway came after Gov. Cuomo used the pandemic as an excuse to close the system every night — allowing cops to force the homeless out along with everyone else.<\/span>

\n Did MTA Inspector General<\/a> Carolyn Pokorny surprise anyone by reporting that trying to persuade the homeless out of the subways turns out to be a \u201cvery expensive\u201d and \u201cminimally effective\u201d bust?<\/p>\n

The agency budgets $5 million a year for such work, and added $2.6 million in overtime over the past year after Gov. Andrew Cuomo went ballistic, declaring the underground homeless problem \u201cegregious\u201d and \u201cthe worst it\u2019s ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the law really didn\u2019t let the MTA do anything except more of the same, namely sending out 10-person teams of cops and social<\/a> workers \u2014 which, the IG notes, lured an average of three homeless per station per night into shelters, even as dozens stayed on trains and in stations for each who accepted services.<\/p>\n

The nonprofit that provides those social workers, the Bowery Residents\u2019 Committee, has been caught failing to live up to its contractual obligations, but that\u2019s not the main problem.<\/p>\n

After all, the real turnaround only came after the gov used the pandemic as an excuse to close the system every night \u2014 allowing cops to force the homeless out along with everyone else.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s tough love \u2014 at the price of inconveniencing people who need to travel<\/a> between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., because New York\u2019s leaders refuse to admit that the homeless are different, and that it\u2019s legitimate to deny them the right to take over public spaces.<\/p>\n

A sane government would fight for the rights of straphangers to use the subway for its intended purpose, and the right of the MTA to eject those using it as shelter.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to the homeless, New York\u2019s government is anything but sane.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
