Seems an old idea is reborn.


Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg defended a city program to send homeless
families
out of New York on planes, trains and buses on Wednesday.

So how is Bloomberg going to take it when the target cities send their
homeless to NYC?

Wes

If they have families or friends who will take them in and support them
in New York, there's no problem. That's how NYC's plan works, in the
other direction.

Your question suggests that maybe you don't understand how it works, Wes.
Did you read it?

I just reread it, and I don't see anything in the article about support
for the transported at their destinations.

“I don’t know, when they get to the other places, whether they find jobs,”
Mr. Bloomberg said. “It may be an easier place for them. If we don’t — we
either have two choices. We can do this program or pay an enormous amount
of money daily to provide housing.”

Hizzoner da mayor doesn't seem concerned as long as they leave.

David

Yeah, there is a lot more to how it will be implemented. He gave separate
interviews on it today.
